Fine, with 40% of the original blue finish, showing scattered mild spotting, bright edge wear and areas of brown patina. The grips are very good, with a faint number stamped into the left panel, mild dents and scuffs, and some damage to the screw. The stock is very good, with some dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
