Fine with 20% of the original blue finish on the barrels. Displaying areas of pitting and spotting that have been cleaned, some small dents in the barrel wall, general handling marks, and clear markings on the rib. The receiver has aged to a mottled gray patina with general handling marks, some spotting, and clear markings and engraving. The trigger guard has been cleaned. The wood is fine as refinished with the added recoil pad. Displaying small indentations throughout, general handling marks, and some longer scratches and hair-line cracks in the forearm and stock. Mechanically very good. The case is fine with general edge and corner scuffs, handling marks, and cracking and tears in a few of the straps.
