There is no pitting and the rust is very light but I will clean it. The blueing is almost perfect on the the right side but it does have some loss, no scratches, on the left, cylinder release side, as shown in the pics. I also took out a 7 shot H&R 22 special from her grandfather as well and shot that too with my sons. That has much more blue loss but no scratches either. These revolvers have been in my closet since 1992 and I an now getting interested in these old firearms. The S&W is in much nicer shape. I also found a number, 73972, stamped on what I believe is the yoke when I opened the cylinder. How do you get it lettered? I tried clicking the links I found on this site but they say page cannot be found. Thank you all for your help. As a side note, every time I log into this site it says it's unsecured and password and at risk. Is that normal?
