The receiver retains about 60% thinning original blue finish with similar specks of oxidation, the balance being a grayish brown patina. The hammer and lever are mostly a brownish gray patina with traces of original case colors. The capped pistol grip walnut buttstock and forend have been professionally checkered in the factory H style and rate very good to near excellent having been lightly sanded and oil finished. The belly of the forend has two shallow notches added behind the forend cap and the buttstock has a very small chip missing to the right of the upper tang behind the receiver.
