Very good. The revolver retains 60% original blue finish mixed with smooth gray patina. There is an area on the right rear of the barrel that has been cleaned and there are a few dings in the same area. Most of the original case colors remain on the trigger and hammer. The grips are also very good with a few tiny dings and a pleasant hand rubbed patina. The markings are clear. The action is excellent. The holster is about good with flex cracking on the flap, some scattered flaking and tight stitching.
