Good. The barrel retains traces original thinning brown finish. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth silver gray patina. All of the inlay remains. The brass has an aged patina. The stock is fair with a repair on the bottom of the grip area and overall a few minor dings and dents. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is fine.
