Very good. The metal surfaces have a smooth mottled brown and gray patina with some flash pitting on the breech end of the barrel. The wood has been varnished. With exception of a couple of hairline cracks on the side of the grip area radiating from the attaching iron, the stock is good with a few minor dents and dings. The detachable stock is good with numerous spots on one side where the varnish is removed, possibly by a foam case lining, and a few minor dents. The stock fit to the pistol is very loose. Mechanically fine.
