Very fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, with a mixed brown and gray patina on the grip straps and underside of the frame, bright wear along the high edges and the top of the slide and chamber, and scattered spotting and handling marks. Grips are good, with some dents and varnish loss. The belt rig is fair, with some rust spots and absent grommets on the belt, minor staining on the pouch, and some scuffs, verdigris and an absent rivet on the holster. Mechanically excellent.
