Fine. The barrels retain 40% of the original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The frame retains 50% of the original silver plating. The grips are excellent with some minor scratches and some light nicks on the bottom edge. The bottom has some very light varnish flaking. The markings are clear and crisp. Mechanically fine.
