Trigger guard retains traces of orig blue, most loss due to flaking. Grip loss is due to wear. Stocks retain over 90% orig finish with numerous light marks, scratches, and dents, as would be expected from normal field use. Checkering is very slightly worn. Bores are excellent, with one long striation in right bbl, and a shallow dent 15″ from muzzle also in right bbl. Action is tight. Bbls are on face. Ejectors are in time.
