About good. Overall the metal surfaces have a smooth brown patina with traces of silvered out case colors in the protected areas. There are some light dings, mostly on the barrel, and the hammer has some minor spotting and pitting. The buttstock has been repaired and there is a tack repair is on the wrist, otherwise the sanded and refinished wood has some minor dings, scratches and gouges. There are a couple minor scuff marks on the forearm near the barrel band. Mechanically fine.
