Very fine overall. The revolver retains 70% of the original blue finish with scattered brown speckling with scattered scratches and dings and a cylinder drag line. The hammer and trigger have a vivid niter blue finish with some minor brown speckling. The markings are legible. The grips are fine with light wear, sharp cartouches, scattered scratches and pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
