Condition report:

The blued finish exhibits typical wear for its age, including thinning on the high edges and across the slide. There is evidence of scattered light oxidation and minor surface pitting on the metal components. The wood grips remain intact with minor dings and handling marks consistent with use. The bore was not inspected. While the action appears to function correctly, we have not function-tested this firearm. No magazine is included.
