Good. The barrel has a smooth mottled brown patina. The buttplate has a gray pitted patina. The remaining parts have a smooth mottled gray patina. The wood is good with some minor age cracks on the stock, and overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The set trigger does not set, otherwise the action functions well.
