Frame & grip frame retain most of a fine restored nickel finish with wear only on trigger guard and conversion ring. Grip is missing a chip at heel and sliver at toe, both on right side, with a repaired crack at frame on right side and otherwise retains a beautiful ivory patina with numerous age lines. Wedge is a homemade replacement. Mechanics are fine, strong bore with moderate to heavy pitting. 8-87544 JR206 (2,500-4,000)
