The firearm features a 5.5 inch blued steel slab-side barrel paired with a blued slide and a matte-finished alloy frame. The pistol is fitted with smooth wood grip panels that incorporate gold-toned Browning medallions and a gold-plated trigger for an attractive aesthetic. Key markings include the manufacturer and location on the left side of the barrel, BROWNING ARMS COMPANY MORGAN, UTAH U.S.A. & MONTREAL, P.Q. CANADA, while the right side is stamped .22 LONG RIFLE BUCK MARK MADE IN U.S.A. The serial number 655PP05926 is located on the front strap of the grip frame. Sighting is handled by a fixed front blade sight and an adjustable target rear sight. This lot includes one detachable box magazine. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol exhibits a blued finish on the barrel and slide that shows thinning on the high edges, scattered surface scratches, and areas of light speckling and oxidation. The matte-finished frame retains most of its finish with some minor scratches and wear on the edges of the trigger guard and front strap. The smooth wood grip panels remain in good condition with minor handling marks and faint impressions. The gold plating on the trigger shows light wear from use. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm.
