Excellent. The revolver retains 90% plus of the original nickel plated finish. There is scattered finish flaking on the barrel muzzle and the sides of the cylinder and the flaked surfaces have been polished bright. Some light pitting is visible on the barrel at the muzzle and on the sides and front face of the cylinder. The hammer and trigger retain 90% of the niter blue finish. The barrel and frame markings are crisp. The grips are excellent and retain nearly 95% of the original varnish finish. Mechanically excellent. This is a fine looking example of a Colt Open Top Pocket Model Revolver.
