Fine. The barrel retains 40% thin blue finish with some areas of smooth gray and plum patina. The frame retains 30% original case colors with a smooth mottled gray patina on the balance. The stock is very good with some minor dents and dings. With the exception of the 1878 and 1882 dates on the receiver, the markings are faint. The action is fine.
