Very fine as Colt-King upgraded, retaining 85% plus original blue finish with some light edge wear, a minor cylinder drag line, thinning on the grip straps showing some grey patina and minor spotting, and minor handling marks. The grips are exceptionally fine with a hairline crack in the right panel and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
