Condition
Very good. Bore good, moderately oxidized and pitted with decent rifling. Metal with most of the original nickel intact, with some scattered minor flaking, wear and loss and scattered oxidized freckling. Markings remain legible. Action mostly functional but the trigger spring is broken so the hammer will not remain in the cocked position unless the trigger is pushed forward to engage the sear. Grips with some wear but solid and free of breaks or cracks.
