Description Update 11-15-2024: Blue rates closer to 85%

serial #133453, 38 S&W, scarce 6'' barrel with a bright good bore showing pitting throughout with strong rifling. This Fourth Model retains perhaps 90% original blue, showing scattered dings and handling marks, high-edge silvering, and an area of old cleaned pitting on the left side of the barrel and the crest of the barrel rib having toned to gunmetal and the cylinder and grip strap toning largely to brown. The trigger and rear sight latch have toned to a smoky gunmetal and the triggerguard and cylinder both retain generous original finish in the protected areas. The checkered hard rubber grips rate near-excellent, with the left panel showing little wear to speak of and the right with scattered handling wear and a small chip missing near the heel. Timing and lockup appear sound, the ejector functions robustly with strong spring and snap, and the grip safety appears to function as it should. (26A10826-612) {C&R} [Dr. W.
