Good. Bores are bright with right barrel showing three pits and a light dent on the exterior surface 7" from muzzle. Blued finish has taken on a brown patina overall with some blue remaining on the barrel flats. Color casehardened finish faded to silver with signs of buffing over the frame that has obscured the patent markings. Barrel rib is matted all the way to the muzzle. Wood stock retains strong checkering on the wrist and forend, but the forend has split across the grain at the center with glue residue and the visible seam from an attempted repair. Engraving shows signs of washing out overall. Action is tight with barrels resting on face and the lever resting left of the centerline.
