Arms, Armor and Militaria Online

Fair to Good. Bore is Very Bright with crisp rifling throughout. Overall metal finish displays scattered light scratches. Some abrasions to the flanks of the muzzle with some further scratches. Finish discolored to the flutes. Some flecked patina behind the recoil shield and within the hammer recess. The hammer shroud has cracked through the right toe and is prevented from falling off by the grips. The grips further show flaking and mars overall with some weakening to the checkering. Action indexes correctly but the lockup is loose on two chambers and rotates out of alignment, rendering item unsafe to fire.

WARNING: Lockup is unacceptably loose on two chambers rendering item unsafe to fire without repair.
