serial #2285, 22 RF, 3 1/2” barrel with a mostly bright very fine bore showing a few small oxidation speckles and otherwise strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 90% original bright blue showing some scattered light flaking to pleasant gray-brown patina, turn line and a few small areas of oxidation on the cylinder flats. The hammer shows lovely vibrant case-hardened colors throughout, the trigger drifting to a smooth smoky gray, and all markings remain crisp. The black checkered hard rubber grips remain in excellent condition with a few light handling marks and strong patent date along the edge of the left panel. The serialized parts are matching and the action seems to function well mechanically. The included pebbled brown paper-covered box shows proper end label and remains in very fine condition with some flaking and edge wear, the base mismatched with the penciled number appearing to be “3735”. The inside lid shows a few small repaired tears and the label is otherwise intact. A nice blued First Model. (13B10826-532) {C&R} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson, Jr. Collection] (2000/2500)
