Very Good. Bore is Frosty with some patched brown patina and strong rifling throughout. Nickel finish flaking at muzzle and on the edges of the cylinder with flecked gray patina in losses. Finish shows some scattered abrasions and scratches overall. Triggerguard shows a brown patina forming with strong blue to the flanks. Case colors on on the hammer and trigger with brown flecking and mottling. Grips have some scratches. Action shows good timing. Latch stiff, likely due to old lubricants. Some mechanical attention is suggested.
