Very fine. The barrel retains 90% original blue finish with some high edge wear, some minor thinning and a small area of minor oxidation on the right side. The frame retains 98% original nickel finish with some mild edge wear. The hammer retains 50% original case colors and the trigger shows strong original niter blue. The grips are also very fine with a few tiny chips on the rear edge of the right panel and overall light handling marks. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine.
