The more I look at this pistol the more questions I have.
I believe it was in a leather holster, untouched for a very long time.
Those stocks have Seen some “carry duty! iMO, before being stored away.
Looks to me like ?
Someone found an Old pitted , but not too Rusty revolver and started cleaning the barrel up with steel wool!! And soon realized that was a BAD IDEA.
The condition of the rifling is the final mystery to me but the Cylinder face and bores looks “excellent! And I’m going to assume the innards of the 5” barrel does too.
Congratulations on your success
