Excellent. The barrels, break lever and trigger guard retain 99% original blue finish with a few small minor scratches, some edge wear on the trigger guard and a small area of minor spotting on the break lever. The remaining parts retain 90% original case colors with the forward underside of the frame having a smooth gray patina. The wood is also excellent with some scattered minor pressure dents and dings. The checkering is very crisp. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
