Good as partially refinished, the barrel and ejector rod housing retain mostly an artificial brown patina showing evidence of cold blue and some minor cleaned pitting. The front sight has been filed down. The cylinder retains 95% of the original blue finish with some edge wear, a drag line and some freckling. The grip straps have a mostly brown patina with the trigger guard area retaining much of the original blue finish. The frame and hammer retain half of the original faded case colors with some areas of discoloration and freckling. The replacement grips are very good with the original number scratched out on the inside and some minor wear. Mechanically needs work.
