Very good retaining 60% original blue finish on the barrel with a grey and brown patina on the remainder and some handling marks. 95% plus original nickel finish remains on the frame with handling marks, and a small, minor ding on the right side by the hammer. Grips are good with some dings and scratches and high edge wear on each panel. The firing pin portion of the hammer is absent, but it is otherwise mechanically fine.
