Fine, retains traces of the original blue finish in sheltered areas and some faint case color patterns with the balance a mottled grey and brown patina. The wood is good with numerous minor dings and scratches throughout, some scattered minor chipping on edges, and a long stabilized crack in the right side of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
