Good to Very Good. Bore is Very Bright with crisp rifling throughout. Blued finish displays light edgewear with some further wear around the muzzle and a light turn ring to the cylinder. Brown patina flecking to the right side of the hammer. Traces of brown patina forming on the backstrap with an abrasion on the front gripstrap. Gold finish to the grip medallions is worn off on the outer surfaces, and the grips show overall handling wear and loss of sharpness to the checkering with some abrasions along the butt. Action shows good timing.
