The cylinder retains 30-40% original blue with the balance flaked to a light patina and retains about all of its stagecoach holdup scene. The grip frame retains virtually all of its original silver plating. The grips are crisp with only very minor handling & storage marks and retain virtually all of their bright factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore with a very few scattered spots of light pitting. The cylinder has four of its original safety pins. The case has a couple of cracks in the lid and a grain check in the bottom with a loose rear corner. The lid lining is faded and soiled with oil staining from the revolver.
