Very good. The barrels retain 70% original blue finish with ares thinned to a smooth gray patina and showing some small scattered areas of minor spotting. The trigger guard/lower tang retain 40% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance and some minor oxidation on the left edge. The action and side locks retain 80% original vivid case colors with some minor oxidation on the lower edges of the action. The wood is also very good with a few minor dings, scratches and handling marks. The checkering is crisp. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
