Fine. The pistol remains in the bright with scattered minor discoloration. There is a small amount of very minor pitting on the right side striking area of the hammer. The grips are very fine with most of the original varnish and a few overall scattered minor pressure dents and dings. The engraving is crisp and clear. The action is fine. Writer has never seen another one of these.
