Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very good. Bore fine and bright with crisp rifling and some residue, possibly flocking, in the last couple of inches near the muzzle. Metal retains most of the blued finish with some scattered freckles of surface oxidation and minor surface roughness here and there. The hammer and trigger retains some muted case colors with more moderate surface oxidation and freckled roughness on the edges of the hammer spur. The gun also has some traces of case flocking here and there and needs a good, careful cleaning. The revolver is mechanically functional. The smooth grips show some light handling marks and have discoloration from the disintegrating blue flocking particularly on the left grip. The case shows some moderate wear on the exterior with the interior disintegrating with flocking sticking to everything.
