Good. The barrel cluster has been cleaned bright and the frame has a polished appearance. There is some extremely limited pin point pitting on the barrel cluster. The grips are very fine with slightly chipped toes and some very light scratches. The action is fine. The case is very good with some minor scratches and some light wear to the lining.
