The cylinder retains about 90% of the original factory "In the white" finish with a small patch of light toning.. The barrel and frame group engraving is still quite sharp..The trigger guard, grip straps, butt cap, and cylinder pin have a soft even patina. There are no real pits or rust as is expected for a gun of this age, but there are small areas of light pin pricks.....
The walnut checkered grips have no splits or cracks but do show some slight point flattening. The nipples are not battered and show little or no use. The bore is outstanding, sharp and crisp with a few small areas of light graying. The gun locks up tight and functions correctly. This is set an outstanding find for the percussion collector..
