Condition report:
The nickel-plated finish shows significant and widespread wear, including areas of flaking, thinning, and surface oxidation, particularly visible on the trigger, frame edges, and barrel housing. Small spots of pitting and freckling are present throughout the metal surfaces. The black plastic grips remain intact with scattered light handling marks and scuffs but no visible cracks. Both bores show rifling with some internal frosting and debris. The tip-up action and latch appear to function correctly, though the firearm has not been function-tested. The accompanying Plano case is in good condition with typical external storage marks.
