Excellent with 95% of the original blued finish showing wear on the edges and high spots overall with finish loss on the left and right side of the front sight base/barrel band, the front edges of the frame rails, the side plate hump, the edge of the trigger guard bow. The grips are excellent with nice sharp checkering on the left side with even wear on the tops of the diamonds on the right side. The pistol has matching numbers except all the magazines. License is in good shape, with some minor wear.
