Very fine with 95% original blue finish on the barrels with light surface scratches. The receiver has 50% plus original slightly muted case colors with a smooth gray patina on the balance and sharp, detailed engraving. The trigger guard retains 60% bright original blue. The very fine wood has well-defined checkering, scattered light scratches, small dings throughout, and loss of finish at the top of the comb and wrist. Mechanically excellent.
