Excellent plus. The revolver retains 99% plus of the original parkerized finish, showing a very light cylinder drag line and some minor handling marks overall. The grips are excellent with a few tiny nicks on the lower edges and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is good with tears in the lid and tape repaired corners. Mechanically excellent.
