Fine with 70% original blue finish on the barrel, mild spotting, edge wear, and light scratches. There are traces of case colors on the levers. The frame and buttplate have gray and brown patina and mild pitting. The stock is very good and has some minor scratches and dings. Both of the extra barrels are fine with 60% plus original blue on each one. The case is good with moderate storage wear including some corner separation. Mechanically fine.
