The screw heads are engraved and nitre blue. There is a "K" stamped above or below the serial number on the frame and barrel lug. Fitted with a nicely figured one piece walnut grip. The factory letter states that this revolver was blue, the type of stocks are "Not Listed" and that it was shipped to Northeast Gun & Supply Company in Needham, Massachusetts on November 26th, 1980.

Rating Definition:

Near new with some muzzle wear and flaking on the right side of the barrel. The casehardened components retain 98% of the bright and fiery case colors with some wear on the ramrod. The nitre blue components retain 95% plus of the original finish. The grip is excellent with only a few light handling/storage marks. The case is good with some scattered scratches, wear and several cracks in the lid. The accessories are very good or better with some wear on the nipple wrench/screwdriver and some minor patches of pitting on the bullet mold.
