Condition Summary
This revolver shows strong overall condition for its age. The nickel finish remains bright and clear, with only light handling marks and a very slight chip on the upper right side of the frame near the pin. The mechanical components function flawlessly—timing and trigger pull are crisp. The target stocks are in great shape, with sharp checkering, no cracks. There is a small, but notable blemish to the topcoat on the left grip panel. (Not even visible in pictures)
Collector’s Notes
The 4″ pinned barrel and recessed cylinder
were only offered briefly in the late 1970s, making this variant uncommon. Nickel was discontinued in 1986.
The combination of a nickel finish, color case target hammer and trigger, and premium factory Goncalo Alves grips elevates its collectible appeal.
