Good. The metal surfaces have been cleaned bright. Scattered pitting is visible on many components, with some hints of spotting and a dark patina. "A HR" is crudely scratched into the right rear of the receiver. The stock has been lightly sanded and reoiled with a repair on top of the wrist, a small chip in the same area, signs of cutting on the right side near the lock, small areas of fill on the forearm, a mended chip on the wrist, and a few mild scratches and dings. The markings on metal are very crisp and legible. Mechanically very good.
