Excellent. The barrels retain approximately 97% of the original blue finish mixed with a smooth brown patina on the sides of the barrels near the breech. There is some smooth brown patina forming around the muzzles, some light muzzle wear and extremely limited light surface oxidation. There is gray patina form on the high edges of the rib and a smooth brown patina forming on the trigger guard. The case color on the frame has faded to a smooth satin patina. The stock is excellent with some minor scratches and dings. The buttplate has some minor worm damage. The checkering is sharp. The engraving and markings are clear and crisp.
