Very good. The barrel has a smooth brown patina and the replacement magazine tube retains 98% of the original blue finish, showing a few minor scratches. The receiver has a smooth silver gray and brown patina with strong traces of original case colors on the rear of each side of the receiver. The lever has a smooth dark patina and the buttplate has a smooth mottled gray patina. The wood has been lightly sanded and revarnished, and remains very good with three notches cut into the top front of the comb, and overall some minor dents and dings. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is fine.
