Very fine with 98% of the original blue finish remaining with the buttplate and sling swivels turning a smooth brown along with some minor wear. The two tapped holes in the barrel are a later addition. The stock is excellent and shows some scattered minor handling marks and a few moderate dings. Mechanically excellent.
