I got my pistol the other day. Looks to be in pretty good shape. Bluing is faded and bore is shiney with a few small spots of pitting. Only major things wrong are the following.
Bottom of left grip by the pin in the frame is chiped.
Second thing wrong is cylinder does not turn. I removed the side plate and adding a small amount of pressure with a small screwdriver to the back of the hand the cylinder will turn.
I am guessing that it's current hand spring is just weak.
I was wanting a second opinion from someone with a lot more experience with these pistols.
I teeth on the extractor do show there age so it may also need replaced. The hand seems ok. With the extra pressure I applied it protrudes through it's slot far enough to engage the extrator.
If someone can show me how to post pics here I can add some of the pistol.
Thanks, Bryan
