Condition report:
The satin stainless steel finish is in excellent overall condition, showing only very minor handling marks and a faint turn line on the cylinder. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling and no signs of pitting or erosion. The black rubber grips remain supple and free of tears or significant wear. The double action and single action cycles appear to function correctly with a tight cylinder lock-up, although the firearm has not been function-tested with live ammunition. All included accessories are in good to excellent condition.
