Very good. The barrel retains 20% original brown finish with half of the Damascus pattern remaining. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The refinished stock is also very good with some minor dents, sharp flat edges and crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are clear. The action is fine. The case is fair with some heavy edge wear, a break at the left lid hinge, some warping of the lid and the left latch absent. The lining is badly faded in many areas, as well as showing some contact wear and material loss. The accessories are all good or better.
