This revolver remains in original very good condition showing approximately 75% to 85%uncleaned soft satin colored nickel finish. The etched panel is fully visible but slightly light. There is some peeling and losses at the firing areas and front of muzzle. The areas where the nickel has lifted has gone to a patina with slight beginning erosion and pinprick pitting. The markings are sharp, the edges are crisp and the metal has not been cleaned in decades. The grips are original to the period and fitimpeccably. The grips are very good plus to near fine with normal patina and aging. The hammer shows bright fire blue on its back. The action is good and the interior is good. Refer William Locke collection.
