Good. The barrel retains much of the brown finish with scattered minor oxidation and heavy flash pitting at the breech end. The lock and hammer have a dark patina with oxidation. The brass components have a dark untouched aged patina. The ramrod is absent. The stock is fair with a 15 inch crack on the upper right side of the forearm (nail repaired), the front 10 1/2 inches has been added/replaced and crudely attached with two screwed in brass bands. There is a small piece absent directly above the left side plate, some gouging on the left wrist, and overall minor dents, dings and scratches. The action needs work, the hammer does not hold a cock position.
