WTS - Early Model 57 with Cokes and velvet box

[cubrock]

SOLD PF - Early Model 57 with Cokes, velvet lined box, and tools. No cardboard box or papers. Extremely nice condition. Has a light turn line. Can't tell by the charge holes if it has been shot. Has a very light flame line. It is possible it is factory fired only, but I can't guarantee it. There are some very fine scratches on the front of the cylinder face, some light wear from opening and closing the action, some extremely light marks in the very surface of the blue on the top front left side of the frame, one tiny freckle above the "41" on the right side of the barrel, and some scattered other very small, minor splotches on the barrel that keep me from calling this like new, but it is about as close as you can get without getting one that is new. These surface marks/splotches might clean off, but I have not tried. They show up in sunlight, but not regular light, and virtually disappear when wiping the gun down with oil. Don't know what they are and most people won't notice them, but I wanted to point them out. It would be possible to upgrade this gun, but would be difficult, especially with a comparably early gun. The Cokes are in very nice condition. They don't come together perfectly at the front, but that is common, in my experience. The outside of the case has various marks and scratches, but the inside is nice. I assume the velvet inside is original. It looks it to me. The bottom half of the case has styrofoam under the velvet. The top half has soft foam. Both halves' linings are affixed to the case - they won't lift out like the later plastic liners.

Really nice, rare package for the collector who needs an early 57. $1650 shipped from my FFL dealer to yours. First "I'll Take It" posted here followed by an email gets it. "I'll Take It" trumps any questions, negotiations, etc. Price is firm and I don't desire any trades. Thank you for looking!
