Very good. 80% plus original blue finish remains with small scattered surface scratches, mild muzzle wear, and some small areas thinning to a light gray. The receiver has 75% original case colors with some mild silvering along the edges and high points and sharp engraving. The wood is fine with small pressure dents and scuffs scattered throughout, well defined checkering, and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent.
