Good. Metal moderately oxidized with scattered surface roughness and some pitting. Markings remain legible, lock functional, bore fair with strong rifling and moderate pitting. Stock with numerous bumps and dings, with about 1" of the forend missing where it would meet the barrel lug. A slivered piece is missing forward of the lock mortise, with cracked loss at the lock screw, as well as some burn out at the bolster.
