Very fine as professionally refurbished/restored. The barrel has a smooth gray patina mixed with traces of blue finish. The remaining metal surfaces retain nearly all of the blue finish showing the slightest handling marks. The stock is near mint with limited mild handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
