Very good. The barrel retains 20% original blue finish mainly on the lower flats with a smooth mottled brown patina on the balance. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth mottled brown patina. The brass has an aged patina. The grip has been revarnished and remains good with some wear on the lower edges, and some scattered minor dents and dings. The cylinder scene is 50% visible. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
