Very fine. The barrel and magazine retain 85% original blue finish thinning to a smooth brown patina with minor slide wear and a few minor dings. The frame retains 80% blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The buttplate and hammer retain 40% faded case colors with the balance a smooth silver-gray patina. Overall there is some scattered light spotting on the buttplate. The forearm is excellent with a few minor handling marks. The buttstock is very fine with exception of "GK" initials hand inscribed on the wrist (left side) and some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
