Fair. The metal surfaces have a mottled silver gray patina with some scattered minor pitting. The upper tang has been welded and is a bit short. The stock is good. There is a large crude "X" carved in the left flat and a 1 1/2 inch hairline crack extending back from the right side plate. Otherwise there are some overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. Markings are readable. The action is very good.
