Very Good to Near Fine. Bore heavily oxidized, dark and with some pitting but retaining strong rifling. Metal with most of the nickel finish intact with some flaked loss, thinning and wear. The exposed metal has developed a moderately oxidized brown patina, creating a slightly mottled appearance in some areas. Engraving and markings remain clear and crisp. Revolver needs mechanical attention. The trigger does not reliably reset and the double action function is not reliable. Single action functions correctly most of the time. Grips fine and crisp with some minor dings and handling marks. Casing with moderate wear both on the exterior and to the interior. Accessories about very good.
