This is a story of the good, the bad and the ugly. The good is that I finally got a 2nd Model Hand Ejector. The bad is that I probably paid too much for it. The ugly is a ding in the barrel that barely showed in the seller’s photos. It clearly was there, just not as obvious as it is in person. I don’t think I’ll buy another nickel plated gun based on photos again.
Here is the ding:
I’ve never owned a nickel firearm before. If the metal got hit that hard, wouldn’t the plating come off? At this point, I am guessing that the gun was nickel originally but refinished. However, I don’t see any clear signs of a refinish job other than that ding.
The serial number appears on the bottom of the grip frame, the back of the cylinder, and inside the barrel shroud. No “B” anywhere and multiple “N”s on the right side of the grip frame.
Do you think this was refinished?
If you don’t mind, I also would like estimates of market value.
Thanks,
Chip
