Condition report:
The pistol displays moderate handling wear consistent with surplus military or police service. The blued finish shows thinning and holster wear along the high points and edges of the slide and frame. Minor scratches and small surface dings are present throughout the metal surfaces. The polymer grips are well-preserved with sharp ribbing and clear emblems. The bore is not clearly visible for inspection. The action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, though the firearm has not been function-tested with live ammunition. The magazine shows expected finish wear from insertion and extraction.
