Very fine. The carbine retains 80% plus original blue finish with some high point wear and a large area of smooth brown patina on the left side of the receiver. The hammer and lever retain most of the original vivid case colors. The wood is also excellent with only a few minor dings and handling marks. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
