Howdy. Thought I would throw on a photo of one of the guns I don't shoot as often as I would like to/should. Any bright spots in the photo is just reflection of light. The blue is basically 99%+, with a very,very slight cylinder stop rub. It shows more in the photo because of the light, than in reality, basically like the bottom pic. There is a bit of oil marks I didn't clean properly for the pics either.
Now for the bad part, the ejector rod bluing has thinned a bit.
I'm not that good with finding serial number dates. This one is N419419, so I'm not sure of the year of manufacture. I have no idea as to value, but I'll be keeping it for a while. At least till my 6 year old is ready to shoot it. I've got the plethora of other revolvers and slide guns to shoot, so this one is more of a drama queen.
Yup the blue plastic tray is broke and worn, so I only take it out for the cheese cake.
