Good to Fine. Bore is dirty with some residues that may clean to Bright with crisp rifling throughout. Metal finish retains some blue on the frame and rear barrel with brown streaks along the barrel, and brown patina forming in losses. Case colors remain visible on hammer flanks and rear of loading lever with lever worn to silver. Grips show handling wear and dents. Action shows good timing, but cylinder spins freely when weapon is decocked.
