If there isn't any pitting, it looks like a pretty nice 58. Certainly not mint, but far from a piece that has been abused, looks like a nice, honest gun.

Nope, the cylinder has a few spots where the blue is rubbed off from holster use, but no pitting.
The end of the barrel on the right side and the right side of sight blade have minor pitting and that's it.
The polish and blue is really deep, I am torn between leaving it as-is, sending it to S&W for refinish, or making it a project....
I have been looking a Doc44's photo of the fixed sight 29 and realize that the barrel has an ejector shroud, and the 58 does not....I don't think that it will look the same....I may just have to leave it be and live with my 3" 657's (maybe put a C&S rear sight on one to carry).
