Good. The metal surfaces have a smooth brownish gray and gray patina with strong traces of original blue finish in protected areas. The wood has been revarnished and remains good with a few light handling marks. The markings are clear. The action is fine. A solid Model 1876 with special order set trigger and heavy barrel.
