Excellent, with 98%+ of the original fire blue on the barrel, with a few traces of brown in the etched accents. Case colors are strong and vivid, with a silver patina starting on the rear of the lockplate. An aged patina is visible in the lower areas of the silver, which is otherwise bright. Stock is very good, with minor cracks near the escutcheons and mild pressure dents overall. Mechanically excellent.
