Very good. The barrels retain 90% older rebrowned finish and a clear rib signature. The action and locks each have 80% strong original casehardened finish. The trigger guard retains traces of original blued finish. The stock is good and has numerous scattered age related storage and handling marks and bruises and generally well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
