Excellent as New York engraved, retaining 98% original nickel finish with very minor flaking on the cylinder. The engraving is crisp. The original case colors on the hammer have darkened with age. The pearl grips are also excellent with minimal handling marks and fiery colors. Mechanically excellent. The case is fine with some minor handling/storage marks and some typical high spot wear. An exceptionally attractive Model No. 1 3rd Issue waiting to be added to your S&W collection.
