Default I bought this for the stocks & holster....

The ad on the auction site said it was "not in time". I may have it repaired (if it really needs it!). Any way, it was $69 plus shipping. I wanted the pearls and kinda like the holster also!





Best,
Charles

That was a bargain at that price. If they are really pearls then they are worth much more. The holster is very cool as well. The timing issue on these old revolvers is many times just years of accumulated gunk and can be resolved by a bath in your favorite degunking recipe. Kroil is my favorite but there are many out there. Remove the stocks and let her soak for a few days. Let it drip dry thereafter or blow it out with mild compressed air.

Once it is cleaned shoot some lubrication into the guts through the trigger or frame and then wipe it down.

If the problem still exists it may be a weak spring and that is another subject.

Appears primarily surface rust, you might just follow the above advice, soak the yuck out and lubricate. You might be pleasantly surprised.
