Good. The barrel exhibits strong traces of original blue finish mixed with a smooth silver brown patina and the frame and loading lever exhibit a smooth silver-brown patina. There is some pin prick pitting mostly concentrated on the buttplate that exhibits a smooth dark patina. The freshened stock is very good with some minor dings, dents, and scratches, a few minor gouges and some moderate notches on top of the buttstock
