Condition report:
The revolver is in good used condition, with the blued finish showing minor holster wear at the muzzle and thinning on some sharp edges. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. The double-action and single-action mechanisms appear to function correctly with positive cylinder lockup. The case-hardened finishes on the hammer and trigger remain clear. The wood target grips show light handling marks, and the additional rubber grips are in good condition. The zippered case shows typical external wear consistent with its age.
