Ok guys....to say that I am impressed would be an understatement.
I was expecting a nice quality gun, but not one that looks UNFIRED!. Until I pulled a few on some snap caps, I doubt if the cylinder had been turned. Not a mark or rub or blemish anywhere. The grips are perfect, with sharp checkering.
The oil wrap paper is pretty dried out and has ripped, the instructions have yellowed. The box is in pretty darned good shape too. Neat little screwdriver. It feels heavy like it's made from gun steel.
Fantastic trigger. Extremely smooth and not heavy at all.
Ser # range is s123xxx. I think maybe '52 or '53??
I took some quick pics....
Amazing for me to find a 50+ year old beauty in this condition. I feel fortunate, as I bought it on description only.
I wonder if it will be any fun to shoot?
