Excellent. The rifle retains 95% original blue finish showing loss at the muzzle, some high edge wear and some thinning to a brown (mostly on the receiver and forend cap). Some light spotting is present on the lower tang. The freshened finish wood is fine with a couple small missing chips near the tangs and some scattered minor handing marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine.
