Very fine, retaining 95% refurbished blue finish with some scratches, spotting, and thinning near the breech, flashes or original case colors in the protected areas with the balance a fine silver patina, and overall light handling evidence. The wood is very good with a few chips on the forend edge, a small crack at the left of the stock head, some dings and scratches, and well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
