Very good with 95% original blue finish on the barrel, some light surface scratches, mild spotting around the muzzle, and absent sight bead. The receiver has 80% original vibrant case colors with high point and edge wear, well-defined engraving, and areas of a dove gray patina. The wood is fine with numerous small dings and scratches, rich color, and some small scattered edge chips. Mechanically excellent.
