Condition report:
The pistol is in very good condition, retaining a high percentage of its original blued finish. Minor finish wear is visible on the muzzle and the forward high points of the slide, consistent with light holster use. The synthetic grips are in excellent condition with crisp checkering and no significant scratches or chips. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The pair of magazines show standard insertion wear but remain structurally sound. The brown leather holster is in good condition with supple leather and intact stitching, exhibiting some light surface scuffs and minor age-related cracking on the flap.
