Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, mild spotting and handling marks overall. The lock plate shows areas of bright case color, with a gray patina around the edges and on the hammer. The stock is fine as reoiled, with some light dents and scratches. Bayonet is good, with minor spotting on the blade, and some scuffs and tears on the sheath. Mechanically very good.
