Very good. The barrels show a mixed brown and gray patina, bright along the high edges, with some dents and tool marks towards the breech. Mild pitting is visible around the nipples, and the locks show a strong brown color. The stock is very good with evidence of revarnish, mild scratches and dings. Mechanically very good.
