Arms, Armor and Militaria

Good. Bore very good, mostly bright with strong rifling and some patches of moderate oxidation near the muzzle. Much of the blue remains intact, although the gun has been a victim of poor storage with scattered patches of surface rust present and some areas of metal erosion and surface roughness, in particular near the muzzle on the left side of the slide. A thorough cleaning will likely improve the gun somewhat, with a sonic bath likely helping. Mechanically functional action. Grips with some light wear. Box fair to good and moderate worn with damage and mold and mildew on the interior.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair.
