Arms, Armor & Militaria

Good. The bore is Frosty with some patches of patina and weakness to the rifling throughout. The flanks of the frame, left barrel, and the sides of the recoil shield show some light pitting. The firearm shows a gray patina overall with light brown patina forming on the gripstraps and triggerguard. Some bluing remains on the seams of the ejector rod housing and the rear edges of the barrel. There are some deformations along the front edge of the frame from removing the cylinder pin. The grips display handling wear, mars, and some loss of the fine details. The checkering has worn down in places with some small nicks and mars to the checkering. The Colt logos remain recognizable, but the fine details to the eye and mane are worn down. The action shows good timing.
