Fine with 90% plus of the period refinished blue, extensive minor pitting visible under the finish, most of the bright gold remaining, aged patina on the silver inlays, crisp engraving, mostly smooth gray patina on the balance, and some minor oxidation. The barrel/breech plug are slightly out of index. The stock has a repaired section on the left side but is otherwise very fine and has crisp carving and minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine and has mild age and storage related wear including some chips and cracks in the wood. The accessories are very fine with minimal light age and storage related wear.
