Description

This High Standard Sentinel Mk I double-action revolver is chambered in .22 Long Rifle and is equipped with a 4-inch barrel. The firearm features a blued finish on the frame, cylinder, and barrel, complemented by a stainless-finish hammer and trigger. The cylinder is a 9-shot swing-out design. The revolver is fitted with oversized, smooth, varnished wood grips. The left side of the barrel is marked SENTINEL MK I and CALIBER — .22 LONG RIFLE. The right side of the barrel bears the manufacturer markings HIGH STANDARD, SPORTING FIREARMS, HAMDEN, CONN. U.S.A. The frame is marked with serial number S44735 on the right side above the trigger guard. The top rib and barrel display scattered small spots of surface oxidation, and the muzzle shows minor finish wear consistent with holster use. The cylinder face and chambers show carbon residue. The wood grips display scattered dings and finish loss, most notably on the left side and butt. The revolver is accompanied by a black fabric zippered soft case. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The blued finish remains largely intact with some light surface scratches and minor holster wear at the muzzle. Small spots of surface oxidation are present on the top rib and barrel. The oversized wood grips show scattered dings and finish loss, particularly on the lower portions. The cylinder face and chambers exhibit carbon residue from use. The bore shows strong rifling with some fouling. Mechanical function has not been independently verified, though the action appears to operate correctly.
