Very good as refinished, 98% of the blue finish remains on the barrel with some scratches and dings. Traces of original case colors remain in the protected areas with a silver/gray patina on the balance. The trigger shoe appears to have been permanently attached. 75% of the gold wash remains on the forearm hardware, trigger, trigger plate and trigger guard. The stock is very good as shortened and revarnished with some scattered light scratches and minor dings. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good.
