Condition report:
The stainless steel finish is in excellent condition, displaying only minor surface handling marks and light carbon residue on the cylinder face and crane. The checkered walnut grips are well-preserved with sharp checkering and minimal wear to the wood or medallions. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly in both single and double action, with solid cylinder lockup. The original factory box shows minor edge wear and light shelf scuffing but remains structurally sound with a clear, legible end label.
