Very fine. The barrels have 95% plus professionally refinished blue with some light spotting and dings visible at the muzzle, a few scattered surface scratches, and some light forearm wear. The receiver and locks have 85% original mostly bright case colors with light silvering on the edges and sharp engraving. The refinished wood is also very fine with attractive figure, scattered small dings and scratches, light chipping around the lower tang, visible spot of filler to the right of the lower tang, and a visible short hairline crack at the tail of the right lock. Mechanically excellent.
