Very fine. The barrel and magazine tube retain approximately 60% slightly faded original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina with some scattered minor scratches. The frame and lever retain approximately 50% original case colors with the balance a smooth silver gray, along with some light spotting. The wood is fine with some minor dings and scratches and retaining most of the varnish.
