Grips have been cleaned and varnished and show no visible cartouche. PROVENANCE: Collection of Daniel C. Scott. CONDITION: Bbl retains considerable blue in protected areas around the wedge turning to a silver-gray patina with some roughness and stain toward the muzzle. Traces of case color appear on the rammer. Frame shows a generous amount of case coloring on both sides. Hammer shows remnants of case color. Brass trigger guard has been lightly cleaned. Backstrap is an even gray-brown patina, with traces of blue behind hammer.
