Very fine, retaining 90% original blue finish and 95% plus original coin, scattered minor oxidation, some thinning towards the breech, and mild handling evidence overall. The wood is very good with numerous dings and scratches and worn but well-defined checkering. Scope optics are clear. Mechanically excellent.
