Very good. The revolver retains 60% original blue finish with wear and areas of smooth gray patina on the barrel and cylinder, high edge wear and additionally there is some thinning and turn marks on the cylinder. The grip straps have a smooth gray patina. The frame retains 40% faded original case colors with a smooth silver gray on the recoil shield and loading gate.
