Very fine as arsenal refurbished and subsequently restored to World War II configuration, retaining most of the finish with some minor edge wear, minor cycling wear, and some minor handling marks. The stock is very good as sanded and re-oiled with some light chips missing around the recoil plate fixtures, some light gouges, and minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
