Bottom front of the frame, has a lever which is attached to the bbl, which when opened allows the bbl to tip up for reloading.

CONDITION: Fine overall retains about 85% strong orig nickel with light flaking losses and an area on each side of the cyl showing light to moderate pitting, probably from long term storage in a holster.
