Very fine, retains 98% of the rich refinished blue finish, the remainder mostly bright with some faint oil staining, slightly softened barrel markings, some light pitting on the breech block hinge, and some scattered light handling marks. The reoiled wood is also very fine with a few scattered light dings and scratches and crisp recut checkering. Mechanically excellent.
