Condition Report
Good. Bore is dark with shallow rifling and some pitting. Nickel finish is strong on the small parts but the frame and barrel finish has flaked overall with a gray to brown patina dominating. Finish shows scattered flaking, scratches, and thinning. Loading gate shows some light pitting. Grips are chipped along the edges of the frame with some yellowing. The grip screw head is stripped. Action fails to index the cylinder.
