Good. The barrel and magazine tube have a mottled brown patina with a very small amount of pin prick type pitting on the barrel. The hammer, lever and buttplate have a smooth dark patina. A few of the screw heads are marred. The receiver has a natural untouched dark aged patina. The wood is fair with numerous minor nicks, dents and scratches. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
