Fair. Bore is dirty with dust and fibers that should clean to Frosty or better with crisp rifling. Metal finish shows some pitting to frame flanks and edges filled in with refinish. Refinish is streaking with brown patina on frame flanks, ejector rod housing, and triggerguard. Pinpoint patina forming over the butt. Grips with checkering worn down overall with loss of fine details. Action shows good timing.

Note: Cylinder is chambered for a different round than the barrel, rendering the revolver unsafe to shoot without repair by a qualified gunsmith.
