The remaining metal surfaces have a crisp smooth gray patina. The trigger guard shows strong traces of age darkened original silver plating in protected areas. The grip is about good with some lower edge wear, a few minor chips on the lower edges, 5 tiny tacks on the bottom and a few scattered minor dents.
