Condition
Very Good to Excellent. Bore is Very Bright with some lubricant residues that should clean to Minty with sharp rifling. Blued finish shows a faint turn ring on the cylinder with three brown patinated spots forming in the blue on the breech face. Grips retain their fine details and polish, but right panel exhibits slight wiggle. Revolver displays good timing. Both end flaps of the cardboard box have torn off and are preserved inside. Box additionally shows some scuffs and abrasions overall with stains to the interior.
