Good. The revolver has a smooth mottled gray patina with a few minor dings and scratches on the barrel and ejector housing. The oversize replacement grips are also good with a small chip on the left heel, a few minor dings and distinct checkering. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
