Fine. The revolver retains 40% original blue finish with a mottled brown patina on the barrel, edge wear, scattered thinning and a smooth mottled gray patina on the back strap. Most of the bright niter blue finish remains on the hammer. The grips are very good with moderate handling wear and distinctive checkering. The action is fine.
