Excellent. The revolver retains 90% plus bright original high polish blue finish showing only scattered light handling wear. The grips are also excellent with some pressure dents in the checkering. The markings are crisp. The action functions perfectly. The case is very fine with exterior showing moderate handling and storage wear. The holster and belt are good with some flex cracking, wear and scuffs, and tight stitching. This is an excellent example of a Webley "WG" Target Model Double Action revolver with correct case and holster. Tough to find complete rigs such as this.
