Very good as period replated with 95% frosted nickel finish remaining with scattered minor flaking, scattered blistering and some minor pitting under the finish. The grips are also good with the screw protruding on the right side, and some minor wear, dings and dents. The barrel is a bit loose and the screw that secures it to the frame is stripped. The action is out of time, otherwise it functions.
