Very good with 90% of the original blue finish on the barrels and 70% of the original case colors on the action. The barrels show small scratches and scattered light spotting throughout. The markings are clear and legible. The rear sight has been painted white. The action shows areas that have aged to a mostly gray patina with large areas of strong case colors. The trigger guard does show some slightly rough spotting in the back at the grip area. The wood is very good with scattered small indentations, sharp checkering, small chips at the heel and toe, and a hairline crack above the triggers on the left side. Mechanically excellent.
