The serialized parts are all matching .Barrel  to frame fit is is solid with good timing and a strong hammer.   NOTE: The bolt is stuck in the disengaged position so the cylinder will spin freely with the hammer not locked up.

The case also contains a key  and an empty .38 S&W ammo box by American Metallic Cartridge Company in very fine condition.
