Fine, retaining 98% professionally reapplied blue finish on the barrels, traces of original case colors on the action, and traces of blue on the triggerguard. The wood is very fine with some scattered minor handling marks and sharp checkering. The case is fair with detached handle and strap (both in case). Mechanically excellent.
