serial #87467, 22 RF, 3 3/16'' barrel with a bright very good bore showing a ring of pitting at the midpoint with otherwise strong rifling. This lovely Third Issue retains 98% original nickel finish, showing only scattered light handling wear with faint flecks of loss around the hinge and barrel and some flaking about the cylinder with a minor abrasion on the backstrap. The hammer and trigger have toned to an even gunmetal and the smooth ivory grips rate very good plus, with the left panel showing two lengthy darkened checks with one intersecting the escutcheon, the right panel remaining smooth and toning nicely to caramel with a minute check near the escutcheon, with the toes and backstraps showing what appear to be very skillful synthetic repairs, showing almost perfect symmetry between them. The gun times and locks up appropriately with no discernible play when at rest. A fine example. (26B10826-586) {ANTIQUE} [Dr. W. Lloyd Hudson Jr. Collection] (1000/1500)
