Condition report:
The revolver is in fair to good condition, showing significant wear to the original blued finish. There is visible thinning, holster wear, and scattered surface oxidation throughout the barrel, cylinder, and frame. The bore condition was not physically inspected and is not visible in the provided photographs. The action appears to function correctly in dry fire, though timing and lockup have not been professionally gauged. The wood grips show handling wear, dings, and impressions consistent with age and use, but remain free of major cracks or structural failures.
