Fine condition specimen, showing very little wear. Strong traces of orig. bright blue finish on frame, cylinder & barrel; metal mostly smooth, even age brown with few minor rust blemishes, but will clean exc+ & better. Markings light, but distinctly stamped that way and they do not show wear; mechanically exc+. Grips have most original varnish finish and exc+ just the slightest wear at extreme edges of butt; some very light surface scratches to varnish finish only, but very fine.
