Very good as custom embellished. The revolver has a smooth gray patina. There is some strong traces of original fire blue finish in the protected area of the hammer, otherwise the trigger and hammer have a bright appearance. The grips are also very good with some hairline age cracks and light handling marks. The markings are clear. The engraving is crisp. The action is fine.
