Fine with bright gold inlays, fading original blue finish blended with mottled brown patina on the barrels, mostly faded original case colors and smooth gray patina on the balance, oxidation and pitting, and general mild overall wear. The stock is also fine and has crisp checkering and carving, small chips and insect damage spots in the horn, and light scratches and dings. The right barrel is obstructed towards the breech. Mechanically fine.
