Very good, with 60% of the original brown, showing some light wear on the barrel, with a strong acid etched Damascus pattern. Traces of the casehardening colors remain in the protected areas, with the rest having faded to a smooth gray patina. Good stock, with scattered dings and scratches. Good action.
