Excellent. The barrel retains 90% plus bright original blue finish with scattered minor flaking and a small area of minor spotting on the muzzle end. The cylinder also retains 90% plus original blue finish, with an area of minor oxidation. The frame retains 98% original silver plating, which has darkened with age. The grips are excellent with 90% original varnish with some very minor lower edge wear and a few chips in the varnish. The markings are clear and crisp. The action is excellent. The box is fine with mild corner and edge wear.
