Extremely fine. The barrels show almost all of the brown damascus pattern with a few small areas of minor spotting. The trigger guard retains 70% original bright thinning blue finish with some fading to a smooth gray. The action retains 80% original bright case colors with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The wood is very fine with some minor dents, scratches and dings. There are a few minor bruises in the otherwise crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
