Cylinder retains about 95% plus glossy orig blue with some minor flaking, a light cyl drag line is present, and retains virtually all of its rolled stagecoach holdup scene marking. Chambers of cyl and the bore retain most all of their orig factory blue further lending credence to the premise that this revolver is unfired. Trigger guard & back strap retain strong traces of their orig thinly applied silver plating. Grip is sound & crisp with only a couple of minor light nicks in finish and retains virtually all of its bright orig factory varnish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. Casing is sound with a 6″ crack in the lid and handling & storage marks. Interior is crisp with light wear from contact with the cyl and edge of grip and light damage from the front sight & hammer spur; compartment holding bullet mold and flask have come unglued in areas and are in need of repair, which can be easily done without hurting aesthetics of this fine case. Mold, flask, cap tin and gun tool are crisp and excellent. 4-51151 JS78 (10,000-15,000) – Lot 2103
