Excellent. The shotgun retains 99% original blue finish with some scattered minor spotting and some minor thinning on the forearm hardware. The action retains 99% plus original case colors with only the slightest handling marks. The wood is also excellent with some minor bruising on the forearm checkering, otherwise a few light handling marks.
