Backstrap is mostly a blue/brown patina with strong blue at the top and on the buttstrap. Cylinder retains about 90% orig blue, strong and bright in the flutes, and on both front and rear faces. Outer diameter shows sharp edge wear and thinning. Chambers retain virtually all of their strong orig blue. Hammer is not solid in safety notch, otherwise mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore.
