Fine, with 80% original blue finish remaining with the balance a smooth brown patina. The wood is very good with a couple chips missing from the forearm and a repaired handguard, along with a couple large dents and some minor dings and scratches. The scope retain 70% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina with some minor pitting and spotting. Mechanically excellent. The optics are hazy, but otherwise good. A nice original WWII 1891/30 PE sniper rifle!
