Arms, Armor and Militaria Online

Very fine. Bore good, showing moderate pitting and strong rifling. Barrel and cylinder with most of their blued finish and crisp, strong markings. Frame with much of the silver plating which has tarnished to a rich blue-black color. Action is NOT mechanically functional. The hand appears to be chipped or otherwise too short to correctly engage the ratchet on the rear of the cylinder. Grips fine with most of their varnish and some light handling marks, retaining crisp edged. The left grip has a full-length grain crack on the interior that does not go through to the face, but is visible partially on the butt of the grip.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
