Bbl & cylinder retain virtually all of their crisp orig blue and all of the orig blue in chambers of cylinder & bore. Cylinder shows 99%+ crisp stagecoach holdup scene roll marking. Frame & hammer retain all of their orig brilliant case colors with virtually all of the orig fire blue on screws, trigger and firing pin. Screws appear to have never been touched. Grip is equally new with only one or two minor nicks in the finish and retains virtually all of its bright orig varnish. Case is sound with a few light nicks & scratches and retains about all of its orig varnish with some dulling around edges. Cloth lining in interior is bright & clean with only compression soiling from the cylinder & bottom edge of grip. Cartridges have stained the corner compartments with white lead oxide. Other accessories are fine. A very rare unfired revolver in an equally new case. 4-48077 JR223 (6,500-7,500) – Lot 1323
