Excellent. 90% original nickel finish remains on the barrel exhibiting light flaking on the right side of the barrel and some high point edge wear. The cylinder retains a strong 85% original nickel finish with minor flaking and surface scratches. The frame retains a strong 90% original nickel finish with a small patch of flaking on the right side and scratch on the left side. The hammer and trigger both show strong and vibrant original case colors. The inscription is still sharp and clear. The holster is also very good. A fine example of a Second Model .32 DA which with further research and investigation may be beneficial.
