Cyl retains 85-90% original blue, strong in the flutes with sharp edge wear and thinning on the outer diameter. Trigger guard and backstrap retain a strong blue in the sheltered areas, thinning on the front and backstraps, showing wear at the heel and toe. Grips are sound, showing light diamond point wear and turning a little chocolate. Mechanics are crisp. Bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of pitting. Shows very little use, just handling. 4-50696 JR254 (4,000-7,000) – Lot 1281
