Fine. The revolver retains 40% original blue finish, mainly concentrated in the protected areas of the barrel lug and frame and on the cylinder.

The grips have been freshened with a coat of varnish some time ago and remain good with some crazing, scattered minor dents and dings, and crisp checkering. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is excellent.
