CONDITION
Retains 90% original blue finish with only a few oxidation spots along the top of the ejector shroud and at the tip of the muzzle. Case hardening has mostly turned to a brown-gray patina. Hammer appears to have been altered for a higher stance. A small chip of nickel plating missing on the bottom toe of the grip. Grips show some very light dings on the edges. Nice bore and good mechanics.
