Fine. Both barrels retain 60% faded original blue finish showing some minor thinning. The receiver retains 40% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The lever retains 95% original case colors. The refinished wood is very good with the exception of a crack on the forearm, some blemishes in the checkering and some minor pressure dents and scratches. The recoil pad is deteriorated and has caused the varnish on buttstock to be left off. Mechanically fine. The case is very good with worn lining.
