Fine as partially refinished (cold blue touch up on the receiver), with 60% of the original blue finish on the balance. Areas of brown and gray patina are present on the barrel, barrel band, and forearm tip, with scattered light spotting and handling marks. The receiver shows a mixed black and gray pattern overall. The stock is very good, with some mild dings concentrated on the forearm and an attractive grain on the forearm. Mechanically excellent.
