Description

This lot features a Taurus Model 82 double-action revolver chambered in .38 Special, equipped with a 4-inch barrel. The firearm is finished in a high-polish blue and is fitted with checkered wooden grips that incorporate gold-colored medallions embossed with the Taurus bull logo and the words TAURUS BRASIL. The barrel is marked TAURUS-BRASIL on the left side and CAL. 38 SPECIAL on the right. The right side of the frame displays a circular Taurus logo followed by the import markings TAURUS INT. MFG. / MIAMI, FLA. and MADE IN BRAZIL. The serial number IC129485 is stamped on the right side of the frame above the trigger guard. Internal inspection of the crane reveals the model designation 82 and the assembly number 7659. The revolver is designed with a six-round cylinder, a fixed ramp front sight, and a traditional channel rear sight. The hammer and trigger exhibit a distinct case-hardened finish. The cylinder features a knurled ejector rod and standard extraction star. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The revolver is in good overall condition, retaining a high percentage of its original blued finish with light surface wear throughout. There is minor thinning of the bluing consistent with handling at the muzzle and on the cylinder high edges. The frame and wooden grips show faint surface scratches and minor handling marks. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The double-action and single-action mechanisms appear to function correctly with a tight lockup. Case-hardened finishes on the hammer and trigger remain vibrant.
