Excellent with 95% bright original high polish blue finish and 90% original bright case colors remaining. There is some minor oxidation on the underside of the barrel. 99% of the original fiery niter blue finish remains on the hammer, trigger and screw heads. The grips are also excellent with a couple of minor pressure marks and very crisp checkering. The action is locked up. The markings are crisp and clear. A super nice Colt Model 1877 Thunderer revolver.
