Period pearl grips with right scale relief carved with Mexican snake and eagle. CONDITION: Good, with several spots of oxidation throughout, with some more significant oxidation on right side of frame behind cylinder. Cylinder has distinct turn line. Grips are period but has been enhanced with the rubbing of what appears to be coffee grounds to add some color. Action works appropriately, but little suction is retained in the system. Bore is very good with visible rifling, some frosting, and a few small pits. This is a good example of a nice revolver. EW
