"0" is stamped under the frame serial number.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The revolver has a mix of smooth brown and gray patinas with the barrel retaining 20% original blue finish. There is some pitting at the muzzle. Nearly all of the cylinder scene remains. 40% original silver plating remains on the grip straps with the exposed brass having an attractive appearance. The grip is fine with some minor dings and scratches and retains most of the original varnish. Mechanically excellent.
