Yoke bluing is 100%, forcing cone is clean, no burn rings I could find, and the breech end of the barrel frame is completely smut free. Grips number to the gun, and the only blemishes are where the cleaning set rubbed against the steel. Damn those things!

Wood panels look rough, but hoping that can be rectified. The checkering outline routing is pretty sloppy. Wood is bone dry.

Couple pics - no matter how many times I wipe always a missed spot.

I'm happy

ETA: As I put the box in the safe noticed $80 written on the back. Could that have been the price back in the day?
