The receiver retains vibrant case coloring in protected areas with some silvering on high edges. The checkered walnut stock and forend are in good condition with minor handling marks and a small, well-fitted repair on the right side of the buttstock. The bores are bright and the action appears to function correctly, though it has not been function-tested.
