Arms, Armor and Militaria Online

Very good to near fine. Fine bright bore with excellent rifling. Metal retains nearly all of the blued finish, with a light turn ring on the cylinder. Metal shows some freckled oxidation and flecks of hazy surface rust scattered here and there and in particular on the backstrap, rear sight and around the front sight base, with a few tiny areas of minor surface roughness on the cylinder. Markings remain clear and crisp. Case colors mostly vivid on hammer and trigger. Mechanically functional action. Grips very good with some light handling marks and moderate loss of varnish, as well as some mildew residue. Case good with wear, interior well worn with cracked damage to the insert. Accessories about good.
