Matching serial numbers are present on the frame, front face of the cylinder, left side of the grip straps (beneath the grips), and hand-scribed on the grips' interior. CONDITION: Excellent.

Cylinder bears a light dragline. Grips exhibit some minor nicks from storage and handling and are otherwise fine.
