Good. The barrel has a smooth mottled gray patina, the cylinder retains much of the period refurbished blue finish and the remaining metal surfaces have a smooth silver gray patina. There is some pitting on the hammer and trigger. The grips show signs of some sanding and have been freshened with a coat of varnish, and remain very good with a few scattered minor dings and dents.
