Very good as custom embellished and modified (see above). The revolver retains 90% blue finish with some muzzle and high edge wear, and areas thinning to gray on the frame. The engraving is crisp and 99% plus silver inlay remains. The grips are a bit oversize, otherwise are fine with a mellow patina and sharp carving. The action is fine.
