Condition report:
The pistol is in good overall condition with a matte black finish showing moderate cosmetic wear. Scattered light scratches and scuffs are visible on the slide and frame, with thinning of the finish on the high points and sharp edges consistent with holster use. The barrel shows typical finish wear at the chamber and muzzle from cycling the action. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling and no significant pitting or erosion. The textured polymer grips remain well-defined with minor handling marks. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested. The magazine shows surface wear and retains white paint markings.
