Very fine. The revolver retains 70% plus original blue finish with scattered thinning and wear, with areas of smooth gray patina on the barrel and smooth brownish gray patina on the grip straps. The grips are also very good with a few scattered minor dings and handling marks. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine. The holster is very fine with minor flex cracking on the flap, a few minor scuffs and tight stitching.
