Good. Bore is dirty with firing residues throughout that may clean to Bright with strong rifling and some patina. Metal finish shows edgewear, scuffs, and abrasions including some scratches. Grease and oil residue to all recesses. Grips have handling wear and abrasions overall. Mechanically functional when cycled by hand.
