Good. The metal surfaces have a mottled silver gray patina (darker on the lock and buttplate) with flash pitting on and around the bolster. The brass components have a natural, untouched aged patina. The stock is good with overall scattered minor dents, dings and scratches associated with a gun of this age. The action needs work, the hammer does not hold a cock position. Unless noted above, the visible markings are clear. Replacement, slightly longer wooden ramrod.
