If a bore is bright but worn, you might find it called fair or good but bright and worn.

If as new- excellent; with slight wear no pitting or darkness, very good to excellent.

Again, JMHO, one word won't do it, have to have some ancillary or modifying description to be complete.

Here's the bore after cleaning with a brass brush and swabbing with a patch. Not bad considering it is a 107 years old
