Fine. The barrel retains 75% original blue finish with areas thinned to a smooth plum, some scattered minor flaking and a small amount of very minor spotting. The receiver and trigger guard retain 60% original case colors with areas faded to a smooth gray patina. The wood is very good as refinished with a few scattered minor dings and handling marks. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
