It remains in spectacular condition. The barrel retains approximately 95% of the original factory blue with some freckling. Frame retains approximately 30-40% case colors with the balance greyed out. Fire blue still evident on screws. Patterned out case colors on buttplate with visible traces. Near mint varnished walnut stocks with no cracks. Near mint bore and perfect action.
