Very fine as partially refinished (trigger guard). The rifle retains 95% original blue finish on the balance showing some mild spotting and some thinning to a gray. The stock is fine with a number of minor handling marks, a filled hole (from a removed sling swivel) near the stock toe and some blemishes in the checkering. A compass has been added to the comb. Mechanically excellent.
