Fine, retaining 50% plus original blue finish with thinning to a gray brown patina on the balance. The forearm is fine with a repaired crack running the entire length as well as scattered dings and scratches. Buttstock is also fine with half of the original varnish remaining, scattered dings and scratches, and a hairline crack coming off both tangs. Mechanically excellent.
