Very good. The barrel has been arsenal renumbered to match the frame. Overall finish is 60%, with a brown patina on the barrel, tool marks on the screws, and scattered bright edge wear and handling marks. The holster is very good, with some mild scuffs. Mechanically fine.

Very good as assembled. The barrels show a mixed brown patina with scattered spotting, and the frame retains over 60% of the black anodized finish.
