Very fine. The barrel retains 95% plus original blue finish with signs of some cleaning on the muzzle end and a small area of light spotting near the rear sight. The receiver retains 98% bright original high polish blue finish with some edge wear and streaks of minor flaking. The hammer retains 80% original bright case colors with normal usage wear. The lever retains 60% original bright case colors with most on the left and underside, and a smooth gray patina on the balance. The buttplate retains most of the original faded case colors. The revarnished wood is very fine with nearly all of the original varnish and a few overall scattered minor scratches and handling marks. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
