Very good. Barrels retaining much professionally reblacked finish beginning to fade to a plum color, some handling and storage marks, some rubbing at the muzzles and along the edges of the rib, action now bright with some discoloration, slight traces of casehardened finish, engraving clear. Floor plate and trigger guard reblued, engraving clear. Stock with numerous handling and storage bruises, marks, scratches and a small gouge on the left side of the butt. There is a small setting crack behind the upper action tang. Mechanically excellent.
