Trigger guard and backstrap retain brilliant blue in sheltered areas with the front and backstraps flaked and thinning. Cyl retains about 95% strong orig blue with some light holster wear around the edges and thinning around the rear part of outer diameter. Grips have a couple minor age lines, otherwise they are sound with great fire and color. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, probably unfired. Bore and chambers of cyl retain virtually all orig factory blue. Altogether a very pretty Frontier Six Shooter. 4-51978 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 3101
