Very fine. The rifle retains 85% original blue finish showing scattered areas of thinning, some edge wear, and some smooth gray and brown patina on the magazine tube, slide arm and tangs. The buttplate has a brownish patina and some minor spotting. The highly figured wood is very fine with a few scratches on the forearm, and numerous minor scratches on the stock, as well as some minor dings. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. A very attractive Winchester Model 1890 with exceptional wood!
