Both metal & wood are excellent, retaining nearly all of their finishes, with only some fading to magazine tube from normal operation. Bore is excellent & bright. The barrel carries a small gold mid-rib bead & silver front bead. Buttstock carries a checkered Winchester buttplate. Overall gorgeous & a collectible 97'. FFL or C&R Req. - Value: 6000 to 10000
