Fair. The barrel has a smooth brown patina with strong original blue finish around the rear sight and in protected areas. The receiver has been cleaned and has a gray appearance. There are two non-factory drilled holes on the upper left side and a filled hole in the same area. The refinished wood is very good. The buttplate is ill-fitting and overall the wood shows some minor dings and scratches. The markings are clear. The sling is good with two crude added holes and some minor wear. The action is fine.
