Very good. The barrel retains traces of faded original blue finish with a mottled gray patina on the balance. The remaining metal surfaces retain traces of silvered out original case colors with the balance a smooth brown patina. The wood is also very good with a couple hairline stress cracks near the upper tang and a number of minor handling marks. Mechanically fine.
