Very good. The barrel has aged to a smooth brown patina with spotted areas of the original blue finish spotted overall. There are some minor scattered dings and scratches the majority of which are on the lower barrel with some minor dings and pitting on both muzzles. The action retains some case colors in the protected areas near the trigger guard and break lever with some trace of faded colors near the hammers while the remaining areas have aged to a brown patina. The forward screw has been replaced on the trigger guard tang and the wood appears to have been freshened at some point. The wood remains very good checkering remains crisp with a small crack on the right side of the wrist and a chip on the left side where the flat meets the receiver. Scattered few handling marks overall, the forend is good with few minor handling marks and some wear in the checkering.
