Very fine, with 75% plus of the original blue finish, showing bright edge wear on the underside of the barrel and along the high edges, mild spotting, and light handling marks overall. The grips are fine, with some light chipping and dings. The stock is fine, with some staining of the wood and minor chipping around the iron. The harness is fine, with some cracking and scuffing of the fine original finish leather. Mechanically excellent.
