The left side of the frame is clearly marked HERITAGE MFG. MIAMI, FL. 33054, while the right side displays the safety warning READ THE MANUAL BEFORE USING. The serial number L09804 is stamped on the underside of the frame forward of the trigger guard. This revolver maintains its original configuration but shows significant signs of environmental exposure and use. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The revolver is in fair to good condition, exhibiting heavy surface oxidation and pitting across the length of the barrel and the ejector rod housing. The blued finish on the cylinder shows thinning and scattered scratches, and the black finish on the frame displays edge wear and minor handling marks. The reddish-orange laminate grips show a visible chip at the bottom left toe along with typical surface wear. The bore shows standard rifling with some internal frosting consistent with the exterior oxidation. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
