CONDITION: This gun retains virtually all of the original factory-applied blue finish with just a few handling marks, mainly on the cylinder. Vivid case colors on the frame and hammer. Niter blue screws and trigger show very little wear. Checkering on the grip panels is sharp and crisp; the last three numbers of the serial number are written in pencil on them.
