Fine. The carbine retains 60% plus original blue finish with thinning to plum blue on the barrel and magazine, bright edge wear, thinning on the receiver and areas of smooth gray patina. The buttplate has a silver gray patina with some minor pitting. The hammer and lever have a smooth mottled brown patina with traces of faded original case colors in protected areas. The wood is also fine with a couple of filled repairs present on the right side of the wrist, and overall minor dents, dings and scratches. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
