Excellent, 90% of the original blue finish remains with some high edge wear, scattered scratches and a few areas that have been cleaned with an abrasive. The casehardened bolt assembly retains 80% of the bright original case colors with some areas of wear that have a mixed silver/brown patina. There is a lacquer coating on the bolt. The refinished wood is very good with scattered dings, scratches and a couple gouges. The buttplate has some worm damage. Mechanically excellent.
