No Beauty Queen… Nickel 3rd Model HE, 6th Ch.

[bill-in-texas]

I got this about a week or so ago.
Condition is mechanically good but cosmetically "lacking."
Someone had gone over the left side, cylinder, and side plate with an abrasive and left fine scratches. Using Flitz, I polished out what I could and gave it the Renaissance Wax treatment. She'll never be any better looking than this but, she looks a tad better in person than the pictures show.
This is my 2nd I-frame, my 1st .32 S&W Long, and also my 1st nickel gun -by any maker.
