Very fine. The barrel retains strong traces of silver plating near the muzzle with a smooth brown patina. The frame retains approximately half of the original plating mixed with smooth brown patina mostly concentrated on the grip straps and butt. The hammer and trigger retain approximately 95% of the niter blue finish. The markings are lightly struck, but legible. The grips are excellent with some minor dings and scratches. The case is good with some moderate dings and some leather flaking. The interior is very good with some moderate fading.
