Condition
7.10.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1149- the brass is with some light scratches, dents and dark spots, wood is with scratches and dents, there is some loss near the grip screw, letting is easy to read, the barrel opens when turned counter clockwise and hammer pulled back to retract the firing pin, in the pas barrel appears to have been turned incorrectly causing small indentations at the muzzle compatible with the firing pin, the steel firing “pin” is part of the trigger and quite robust, the hammer does not hold a cock position and trigger does not set, the bore is with scratches, there is excessive space between barrel and frame=recoil shield, please refer to online images for reference
