Good to Very Good. Bore is dirty with firing residues throughout that should clean to Very Bright with crisp rifling. Nickel finish overall shows pinpoint patina forming with milky discolorations mottled overall. Further brown patina flecking over the rear edges of the frame. Right trigger shows some pinpoint patina, but the casehardened finishes are strong. Grips retain fine details with some light scratches overall. Cylinder shows a continuous drag line that has broken through the nickel in some places resulting in brown patina forming. Action displays good timing.
