Condition report:
The revolver is in excellent physical condition with a well-preserved Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish. A faint turn line is visible on the blued cylinder, and there is minor thinning of the finish at the muzzle. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly with a crisp trigger pull and positive cylinder indexing, though it has not been live-fire tested. The checkered synthetic grips are free of cracks or significant marring, maintaining their original texture.
