Fine, retains 75% original blue finish, faint traces of original case color patterns, and 30% original nitre blue on the loading gate with the balance mostly a mottled dark grey-brown patina. The lightly reoiled wood is very good with a few scattered light dings and scratches, and a small repair in the bottom of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
