Condition: Very fine. The barrels retain 90% original blue finish with some thinning to plum and a small amount of minor spotting. The coin finish action has a dove gray appearance. The wood is also very good with some overall scattered minor dings and handling marks, and a few minor bruises in the otherwise crisp checkering. There are a couple of minor dings and scratches on the trigger guard and a few minor chips on the grip cap. The engraving is crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
