Arms, Armor & Militaria

Good to Very Good. The bore is dark with patina throughout and some spots of oxidation. The external metal finish is dominated by a gray patina with mottled dark gray to brown patterns forming on the cylinder and barrel. There are some nicks along the edges of the frame. The barrel shows some light pitting scattered along the barrel and the cylinder. The brass triggerguard displays scattered mars and a light patina forming with rounded edges suggesting buffing at some point. The grips show handling wear, mars, and a raised granular texture forming along with some rounding and losses along the edges of the butt. The right grip fails to fit flush with the frame. The action times and indexes correctly with some wiggle to the lockup. The holster has some scars, scuffs, and light abrasions overall with patches of white residue forming on the flap and the tip.
