Fine. The revolver retains 50% original nickel finish which has taken on a frosted appearance. The remaining metal surfaces have a dark patina with some mild pitting on the cylinder. The oversize replacement grips are good with a few minor dings and distinct checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine.
