Fine. The revolver retains 40% bright original high polish blue finish with a smooth mottled brown patina on the balance. The acid etched panel is fine and legible. There is a chip on top of the front sight. The grips are very good with a few minor dings and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
