Very good, retains 25% plus original blue finish with the balance mostly a plum brown patina and strong flashes of original case colors primarily on the left side of the receiver with the balance a silvery-grey patina speckled with brown. The lightly sanded and reoiled wood is good with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout, and a couple hairline cracks in the wrist. Mechanically excellent.
