Very fine, retaining 85% original blue finish with some light muzzle wear, some light scratches, light edge wear, and small spots of pitting on the faded straps. Grips are also very fine with some light dings and scratches. Holster is also very fine with much of the original brown polish and some mild edge wear. Mechanically excellent. One will look a long time to find a finer example!
