Very good. The barrels have 90% plus original blue finish with some small handling marks, clear rib markings, and some light surface scratches on the left barrel just forward of the breech. The frame has 30% original case colors with clear markings and smooth gray patina on the balance. The wood is very good as freshened with well defined checkering, scattered surface scratches, and light pressure indentations. Mechanically excellent.
