Condition report:

The original metal finish is entirely worn away, exhibiting a heavy, mottled dark gray and brown patina across all metal surfaces. There is significant surface rust, corrosion, and minor pitting visible on the barrel, frame, and cylinder, consistent with long-term storage in poor conditions. The grips are in good condition relative to the metal, showing a high polish and minor handling marks, though the finish appears possibly refreshed or replaced. The top-break action appears to function correctly in both single and double action modes, though the internal condition of the bore is unknown. We have not function-tested this firearm. It is the buyer\'s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws.
