Fine. The rifle retains 30% plus of the original blue finish mixed with brown patina and showing a few dings, minor oxidation and minor pitting on the barrel. The refinished wood is good with a small old fill repair on the left front of the stock comb, and overall some minor dents and scratches. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
