Very Good. Bore is Bright with firing residues that should clean to Very Bright or better with sharp rifling throughout.

The rear and front sight both show brown patina and flecking forming overall. Grips fit poorly with the rear edge peeling up over the frame. A crack is forming in the right side of the grip below the medallion. Two further splits forming on both sides behind the rear edge of the triggerguard. Action shows good timing with a tight lockup.
