Very fine, with 85% of the original blue finish, showing a plum tint on some areas of the frame, a brown patina on the frontstrap, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The grips are excellent, with a few light scratches, and the holster is very good with some scuffs, cuts and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
