Excellent. The revolver retains 98% plus original blue finish showing slight loss at the muzzle and a cylinder drag line/cycling marks. 97% plus original case colors remain on the hammer and trigger. The grips are also excellent with limited minor handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The original gold factory box is exceptionally fine.
