Very Good. Bore is Frosty with light a light brown patina throughout and some patches of pinpoint patina. The blued finish has faded to a brown patina overall with some traces of the blue at the edges of the ejector rod housing and the barrel. The frame is a gray to brown patina with scattered light pitting over the recoil shield and forward frame. The grips have been sanded and refinished, and have thus receded from the edges of the metal. The grips are stained on the left side with some scattered mars and chips on the edges of the butt. The cylinder shows a drag line, some rounding on the edges and scattered pinpoint pitting. Action times and indexes correctly.

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.

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.
