The case colors on left side of hammer and loading lever are nearly 100%, most still brilliant. Frame retains approximately 80-90% color, some still brilliant. The blued fluted cylinder retains approximately 80%+ blue mixed with light plum. Trigger guard and backstrap retain approximately 10% of the original plating. Varnished walnut grips are near mint.
