Fine. The revolver retains 40% original blue finish mixed with smooth brown patina. The frame has a smooth mottled brown patina with 40% original case colors in the protected areas. The grip is very fine with a tiny chip on the left toe, some minor wear on the lower edges and a few minor handling marks. The markings and cylinder scene are crisp. The action is excellent.
