Good. The metal surfaces have a brown and gray patina with overall light oxidation. The stock is very good with a minor crack ahead of the left side plate, a chip on the left upper forearm and finish loss in the area of the hammer and bolster. Overall there are some minor dings and scratches. The brass components have an aged patina and the silver inlays have dulled somewhat with age. The markings and engraving are clear. The action is fine.
