Very fine. The revolver retains 90% original blue finish with some wear on the muzzle and high edges, thinning on the back strap and some very small areas of minor spotting on the edges of the butt. There is a light drag line and some minor pitting on the cylinder. The front sight has been filed down slightly. The frame retains 80% original case colors with some fading to a smooth dove gray. There is a small amount of minor pitting on the front edge of the loading gate. The oversized non-factory replacement grips are fine with light handling marks and the right panel is a bit ill-fitting. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine.
