Very fine, retaining 98% original blue finish on the barrels, traces of case colors in the protected areas with the balance an attractive grey patina, and mild handling evidence. There is some chipping along the left edge of the forend; otherwise, the revarnished wood is very fine with some small dings and scratches and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
