Extremely fine and collector quality. Brls retain nearly all of their factory original blue. Forearm and buttstock are excellent and sound retaining more than 95% of their original finish with couple of minor areas of finish added for preservation and have only minor impressions and handling marks. Sidelocks and frame retain virtually all of their beautiful factory original rainbow case color with crisp engraving and screws. Trigger guard and forearm banjo with more than 90% of its factory original blue. Pad is hardening, mushrooming, and appears to be the only thing that has been touched on this gun and done during its early period of use. Bores are bright and shiny. Mechanics are excellent. C&R.
