Excellent. The revolver retains 99% plus original blue and bright casehardened finish showing a very light cylinder drag line, a few very tiny dings on the butt and light handling/storage marks. The grips are also excellent with light handling/storage marks and sharp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is excellent. The box is good with a separated corner on the lid, some edge wear along the front of the lid and part of the label flaked off.
