Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish and 90% of the original case colors on the trigger with the face of the trigger guard having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina with some scattered small patches of light pitting. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
