Exceptionally fine. The barrel retains 98% plus of the untouched, unpolished, original nickel finish with some scratches overall, showing moderate scratches and dings on the bottom of the barrel. The frame retains 85% of the original nickel finish with minor thinning on the loading gate, recoil shield and a small area on the left rear portion of the frame where a smooth brown patina shows through. The cylinder shows 80% of the original nickel with a smooth brown patina on the balance and a few small areas showing some minor pitting. The grips are very fine with a few dings and handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
