Very good as period replated with most nickel finish remaining. The finish is beginning to frost in areas. The hammer and trigger guard have a smooth mottled gray patina. The grips are fine having faded to brown, showing a couple minor dings and crisp checkering. The serial number is a bit difficult to read, otherwise the markings are clear. The action is fine.
