Near mint. The revolver retains 99% of the original blue finish with some light wear on the left side of the muzzle. There are a few overall scattered minor scratches and dings. There is a very faint drag line on the professionally refinished cylinder. The frame and hammer also retain 99% of the vivid casehardening colors with slight fading on the recoil shield and top strap. The grips are also excellent with crisp checkering and only a couple of very minor dings on the right panel. All markings are crisp. Mechanically sound. The box is very good with a small portion of the end label missing as well as a couple pieces of the box. The bottom front seam and the top rear seam are broken. The interior labels are nearly all present. An exceptional Pre-War Colt Single Action Army in its original box.
