Excellent. The pistol retains 99% plus original blue finish with only light handling marks. The wood is also excellent with light handling marks and a beautiful intense figured grain. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent with some light handling and storage marks. The ammunition is very good with some light oxidation and wear on the boxes.
