Good. Bore is Dark with weak rifling and light pitting throughout. The overall metal finish of the revolver is a dark brown patina with scattered light pitting overall. Nickel finish is strongest on the cylinder, with some further traces of nickel remaining on the barrel at the edges of the ejector rod housing. The ejector rod head appears to be a hand fitted replacement. Ejector rod has detached from the head, and freely slides front to back.  The grips are chipped and rounded at the edges with stains and handling wear overall, and the metal fitting proud suggesting they were sanded at some point. The cylinder stop fails to engage completely on three chambers, allowing the cylinder to rotate out of engagement.
