Very fine, retaining 95% original blue on the barrels, 60% original case colors on the receiver, some overall light handling/use evidence. There are a few very minor areas showing limited spotting on the barrels. The wood is very good with a few bruises at the left side of the toe, scattered light scratches, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
