Excellent. The barrel retains 98% plus bright original finish with some minor thinning on the muzzle. The trigger guard retains most of the original blue finish with some thinning and edge wear. The receiver retains approximately 99% original vivid case colors. The wood is excellent overall with exception of some finish loss on the stock, as well as a few chips and scratches in the finish. The forearm shows a few small minor dings and overall the checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine overall with some moderate to heavy wear on the edges, handle and hinge.
