The Barrel is Pinned and the Cylinder is Recessed with Matching Serial Number on the Rear Cylinder Face. The Bore is Bright with Sharp Rifling; and the Chambers are Bright and Shiny. The Blued Finish shows very little wear for its age (75+ years) as shown in the photographs.

A cylinder line and areas of lost bluing are visible around the muzzle, cylinder edges, and a few other small areas.
