Sale 6317
Estimate$700 – $1,000
Very Good. Bore good, moderately oxidized with good rifling. Metal with some areas of original blue remaining, mostly on the barrel web and cylinder. The balance of the revolver shows a medium gray patina. Loading lever with some nice traces of case colors. Markings and engraving are clear. Action needs mechanical attention. Revolver operates fine about two thirds to three quarters of the time, but one one or two chambers will not always advance when cocked again. Hand may be short as the cylinder does not index 100% of the way each time. Grips very good with scattered bumps, dings and mars and some original finish.
