Condition report:
The overall condition is good, showing significant cosmetic wear consistent with regular use. The high-polish blued finish retains approximately 70% coverage, with substantial finish loss, scratching, and thinning visible along the barrel, cylinder, and grip straps. The grip straps, particularly the backstrap, show heavy scratching and thinning down to the bare metal. The cylinder shows a visible drag line. The wood grips are in good condition, retaining their high-gloss finish, though minor handling marks and edge wear are present. The adjustable rear sight and fixed front sight appear intact. The bore condition is not visible but the action appears to function correctly in both single and double action modes, and the top-break mechanism operates smoothly. We have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
