Very fine with 95% plus of the original green parkerized finish remaining. There is some high edge wear and some scattered minor scratches. The wood is fine with scattered dings, scratches and a 3 inch tight hairline crack in the forearm. The cartouches are lightly visible. Mechanically excellent. Sling is good.
