Condition report:
The original blued finish shows significant holster wear and thinning, primarily on the slide and high edges, which has transitioned into a smooth dark patina with areas of surface oxidation. Light pitting and pinpricking are visible on the forward section of the slide and the exposed portion of the barrel. The bore has not been inspected. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The black hard rubber grips show moderate wear to the checkering, with a small hairline crack noted on the lower portion of the right grip panel. The magazine shows expected finish wear and retains a strong spring. The modern plastic case is in excellent condition.
