Very fine. The revolver retains 75% plus original blue finish with thinning to brown on the barrel, minor spotting and flaking on the cylinder and a smooth gray patina on the grip straps. The hammer retains most of the original case colors and the loading lever has a smooth silver gray patina with much of the faded case colors on the lug. The grip is also very fine with some minor dings and handling marks. The markings and cartouches are clear. The action is fine.
