Very fine, retaining nearly 97% original blue finish with scattered handling marks, some gray on the barrel at breach, and a faint cylinder drag line. The brass surfaces have an attractive appearance with dark speckling mostly on the right side of the frame and hammer. The grips are excellent with very limited handling evidence. Mechanically excellent. Golden Buffalo case is excellent with minimal storage and handling marks.
