Condition report:
The pistol is in very good overall condition, retaining much of its original high-polish blued finish. There is moderate thinning and holster wear evident at the muzzle and along the sharp edges of the slide and frame, along with light handling marks and minor surface scratches. The nitre blue finish on the trigger remains vibrant and well-defined. The checkered black hard rubber grips are in excellent condition with crisp checkering and no significant chips or cracks. The included magazine shows significant finish wear and thinning throughout its body. The bore was not inspected. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm.
