Very good, with areas of brown and gray patina, edge wear, and scattered handling marks and spotting. The grips are fair, with cracking on the right panel, mild dings and verdigris buildup on the checkering, and sanding at the tops. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fair, with some rearrangement of the straps and a damaged belt loop strap.
