Fine with 75% original blue finish on the barrels, some small dings on the rib, silvered out patches, and some visible traces of surface spotting and light pitting. The action has 75% vivid original case colors with silvering and gray patina on the high edges, sharp detailed engraving, and mostly artificial brown patina on the trigger guard. The refinished wood is also fine with crisp recut checkering, small repaired chip at the buttplate heel tip, scattered dings and bruises, and mixed patina on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
