Arms, Armor and Militaria

Fine as embellished. Bore very good, partly bright with strong rifling showing moderate frosting in the grooves and some moderate oxidation as well. Revolver retains much of the applied silver and gold plating with some thinning and loss, particularly on high edges and points of contact. Metal retains crisp engraving and slightly soft barrel and frame markings from the enhanced finish application. Mechanically functional action, with four distinct clicks when the hammer is cocked, showing tight lock up and crisp indexing. Grip fine with some minor fit issues along the butt and the lower leading edge and some minor gapping at the frame junction.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
