Condition Report

Good. Bore is Frosty with a brown patina throughout and light pitting. The Bluing is retained at the edges of the barrel and triggerguard but a mottled gray to brown patina dominates. Some color casehardening remaining on the interior of the frame and the hammer flanks. The grips show light handling wear and some mars. The action displays good timing.
