Very fine as professionally refurbished and custom embellished to upgraded factory specification. 99% of the high polish blue finish remains with faint traces of light pitting under the blue around the muzzles, light handling marks, and crisp markings. The receiver as some slightly soft edges with crisp engraving. The wood is fine with sharp checkering, some small scattered dings, and the buttstock shortened by approximately 1/2 inch. Mechanically excellent.
