Fine. The barrel and frame retain 75% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance and some minor handling marks. The cylinder is absent of finish and has a smooth gray patina showing some minor pitting with much of the scene remaining. The loading lever and hammer retain traces of original case colors.
