The pictures are from after the confiscation. The gun now got a couple of tiny scratches on the side of the barrel, perhaps from bouncing into the sides of the window to the test chamber upon firing, also some dents at the bottom of the stocks. And a slightly bent ejector rod, probably due to slamming the cylinder shut, a practice only applied by incompetent gun handlers. At one position the cylinder face now slightly rubs against the barrel. It was also very fouled, many patches of Hoppes #9 until not green any longer, all chambers fouled too. So extensively test fired. Thanks for liking the story
