Fair. The metal surfaces have a dark patina with scattered minor oxidation. The wood is also fair as revarnished with an old repaired break on the right side of the wrist, a large repaired piece on the toe, repairs on the heel and overall scattered minor gouges, dents, dings and scratches. The lock markings are clear, the receiver marking is partially visible, and as noted above the barrel markings are absent. The action is fine.
