Exceptionally fine, retains 90% wartime arsenal applied blackened oil finish with a few small areas of light pitting. Wood is very fine with defined edges, some light handling marks, and crisp stampings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is very fine, with 90% original blue finish on the tube with a few small patches of light surface corrosion, 80% original black painted finish on the dial base and sunshade, with crisp clear optics.
