if you look at this listing on Ebay, and click on the enlarged pics, this is about the condition of the cylinder ON THE OUTSIDE. The inside of the cylinder that holds the rounds look mint, and the barrel is OK, the frame is OK

I guess I am still loving that gun even despite it's wear, and need reassurance that if I do buy it, replacing the cylinder or trying to clean and reblue it myself is feasible...
