Condition Report

Good to Very Good. Bore is Bright with crisp rifling throughout. The Parkerized finish shows some light edgewear and operating abrasions to the crane, along with two flakes to the finish at the rear edge of the crane. Case colors on the hammer show some gray patina and losses consistent with cleaning on the flanks, with further brown patina forming on the trigger. Grips show some handling wear and light mars with rounded edges suggesting possible sanding. Action exhibits good timing.
