Good, the shortened barrels have been cleaned and have a moderate area of rough patina. The refinished trigger guard retains 95% of the blue finish. The casehardened components are mostly bright with some faded case colors in the protected areas. The wood is also good with a 1 1/4 inch crack in the forearm, the buttstock has been refinished and has a repaired 2 inch crack on the right side of the wrist, a large pieced in repair on the front left of the comb and an added recoil pad. Mechanically fine.
