About Very Good. Bore is Bright with crisp rifling throughout. Metal with much of the original blued finish intact with some moderate amounts of loss, thinning and fading, with the areas where the blue has worn or flaked transitioning to a brown patina, particularly on the gripstraps and lower frame. Some oxidized brown streaks and brown flecking are present on the barrel and upper frame. Small parts with a caramel patina forming. Grips show some light handling dents. Mechanically functional, action with good timing and tight lockup.
