Very good. The barrels retain 50% of the original thin brown finish with virtually all of the Damascus pattern remaining. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The stock is excellent with only a few very minor handling marks and sharp recut checkering. The markings and engraving, except for the trigger guard, are clear. The action is excellent. The case is good with some heavy edge wear, scuffs and scrapes. The lining is very good showing some minor contact wear.
