The firearm is in good overall condition, exhibiting a finish that has aged into a brownish patina with some minor thinning and surface oxidation present. The walnut stock and forend show typical handling marks and dings but remain solid and free of major cracks. The action appears to function smoothly, though it has not been function-tested with live ammunition. The checkered hard rubber buttplate is intact with light wear to the checkering. The bore was not inspected.
