Condition report:
The blued finish on the barrel and cylinder shows some thinning and minor oxidation, particularly at the muzzle and along the leading edges. The frame retains much of its black finish with light edge wear and a few scattered handling marks. The bore shows strong rifling with some internal frosting. The action appears to function correctly with a solid lockup and clear indexing. The wooden grips are in good condition with minor dings and surface scratches consistent with field use.
