Very good. The barrel retains 70% original blue finish with smooth plum blue on the balance. The trigger guard and break lever retain 95% original blue finish with some normal usage wear. The action has a smooth gray patina. The wood is very good with some scattered minor dents and dings, and crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. Mechanically fine.
