Very fine. The frame and barrel retain 95% period replated nickel finish and the cylinder retains 30% of the nickel mostly in the flutes with smooth gray mixed with spotting on the balance. Traces of case colors remain on the trigger guard. 85% case colors remain on the hammer. The grips are fine with minimal handling marks and attractive color. Mechanically excellent.
