Excellent. The revolver retains 95% plus original nickel finish with some light flaking. The hammer, trigger and trigger guard retain traces of original case colors. The grips are excellent with limited light handling marks near the bottoms and crisp checkering. The engraving is crisp. Action functions but is out of time and does not lock up. This is an exceptional factory engraved Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army Revolver.
