For shooters and collectors who value authenticity and serviceable condition over showroom perfection, an honest, characterful example often offers the best balance of form, function, and value.

Condition, value, and practical considerations

Condition notes are specific and important: comes with case – small chips in the bottom of the grips and some blueing discoloration. These are surface-level issues that affect aesthetics more than function if the internals are sound. Small grip chips can be stabilized or replaced; light blueing discoloration often reflects age and use rather than corrosion, but verify bore and cylinder face condition in person or via detailed photos. At $999.99, buyers should weigh collector grade against shooter grade needs.

Practical buying advice

Inspect serial matching, case condition, and action smoothness before purchase. If you plan to shoot the revolver, have a qualified gunsmith check timing, lockwork, and cylinder gap. If collecting, document the condition notes — the included case and honest listing of grip chips and blueing discoloration support provenance and future resale clarity.
