Very good plus. The metal surfaces have a smooth brown patina with scattered traces of crisp original blue finish mainly in protected areas. The wood is also very good with most of the original varnish remaining, with a smear of white paint on the left rear of the stock and overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
