Latch release with color remaining and drifting from light handling. Frame retains more than 90% of its original case color, particularly bold on side and trigger plate, and beginning to tone at carry point. Trigger guard about 85% of its original blue remaining. Buttstock is sound and excellent with about 90-95% original finish remaining with thinning towards butt with some craquelure and handling marks noted. Buttplate is crisp. Bores are bright and shiny.
