Very good, the barrels retain 85% of the original blue finish with areas of wear and scattered minor freckling. The coin finished components are mostly bright. There are some scratches and dings on the metal components and the trigger guard is loose. The wood is very good as refinished with a couple of plugged repairs at the wrist along with scattered scratches and dings. Mechanically very good with the safety not blocking the rifle hammer.
