Accompanied by a period dark brown leather flap holster. CONDITION: As noted. Bbl retains 10-15% thin original blue. No finish remains on the cylinder, it being a medium brown patina. Frame retains about 20% oxidized silver plating in the very sheltered areas. Grips are sound with traces of original finish. Strong dark bore. Holster is worn with a repaired belt loop, is missing closure strap. 4-50719 JR288 (300-500)
