Very Good. Bore is Minty with sharp rifling throughout. Overall metal finish is strong with some edgewear forming at the forward slide. The bluing has worn down on the outer edge of the safety, and the grip safety shows some operating wear. There is a fleck to the finish on the right slide, and the item shows some scattered light scratches. Specks of gray patina are forming on the hammer flanks. The left grip panel has a flattened spot beneath the medallion. Magazine has light insertion wear. The slide is unable to travel forward for removal during disassembly.
