Very fine with 98% of the blue finish remains on the barrels with small handling marks, light muzzle wear, and small scattered dings. The frame has 95% of the case colors with light handling marks, sharp engraving, and light tool marks on some of the screw heads. Some thinning blue on the trigger guard, turning brown. The wood is very fine with sharp checkering, scattered small indentations, and handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
