Matching serial numbers. 4 3/4" barrel has a fair bore with moderate pitting, fixed high blade front sight. 80% re-blued finish with some general wear and moderate peppering. The markings are still legible. The action cycles fine and locks up with a little play. Custom white grips, with a raised horse head on the left grip, are in great shape.
