Some questions answered......
I received some questions and thought I would answer them so all can see the answers:
1) Any rust under the grips? Has the main spring been replaced?
Answer: No rust visible under grips, main spring looks great, not sure if it's ever been replaced....the gun is 107 years old and has obviously been used.
2) What is the condition of the bore?
Answer: The bore is in very good condition, it has strong rifling present and has some roughness in the groves and has a slightly frosted appearance.....definitely a shootable bore. The cylinder chambers are in great shape as well, also with a frosted appearance but smooth.
3) Timing, lock-up, and cylinder play?
Answer: The lock-up seems very good to me and there is minimal cylinder play....again, a 107 year old revolver here folks!
4) Any issues with the grips? Stuff like cracks, repairs, chips?
Answer: SEE PHOTOS - the stocks look great and show minor handling marks. No chips, repairs, etc.
5) Any Mark markings on the inside of the grips?
Answer: SEE PHOTOS - I cannot make out a serial number penciled on the right stock panel.....but these were very lightly marked if at all and fade easily. I have no doubt these are the original stocks.
6) All serial numbers match?
Answer: YES
