Very good, retaining 25% original blue finish in and around the sheltered areas with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. Traces of original nitre blue remain on the loading gate. 40% original case colors remain on the hammer. The wood is also very good with a stabilized crack and divot on the forearm and numerous minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
