This revolver belongs to my brother, who inherited it from his late father-in-law. Serial number is 72xxx putting it at 1955 production. All numbers - barrel, cylinder, frame and diamond stocks - are serial matched. Everything appears completely factory original. Blue finish is original and will rate it at 90%, with most of the wear on the backstrap. Otherwise, scattered light handling wear and some lightening on the hard edges. Lockup is tight in all positions, and timing is right on SA and DA. This gun has not seen much use, but has been carried some. Not really a collector grade but certainly better than a shooter grade revolver. Diamond stocks are nice, with a small chip missing on the underside of the left panel at the frame junction. This is overall a very nice, and original pre-36. You can admire it, carry it, shoot it, or all of the above. Will ship it to L48 for $365. Thanks for looking.
