Condition
Fine. Bore fine and bright with crisp rifling. Metal with most of the nickel finish intact with some very minor flaked loss around the engraving on the cylinder and along the barrel where the ejector rod housing meets it. All markings and engraving remain clear and crisp. Mechanically functional action. Grips very good with some minor wear and discoloration and the loss of one red glass eye from the steer's face. Display case very good with some wear and surface marks, glass somewhat foggy.
