Condition report:
The overall finish is worn blue, displaying significant thinning, handling marks, and areas of patina, consistent with age and use. Approximately 40-50% of the original bluing remains, concentrated primarily in protected areas and the barrel. The frame sides show notable thinning, surface wear, and light pitting/surface oxidation, especially near the grip panels. The trigger guard shows evidence of faded case coloring or a bright metal finish. The hammer and trigger show evidence of faded case coloring or a bright metal finish. The bore condition is not visible but appears dark. The hard rubber grips are in good condition with sharp checkering, though minor handling wear is present. The top-break action appears to function correctly, and the grip safety mechanism operates. We have not function-tested this firearm, and it should be inspected by a qualified gunsmith before firing. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
