Size: 13 1/4 inches long overall with a 7 1/2 inch barrel.

Very good condition overall, with substantial traces of the gun's original blue finish. There is a dent on the right hand side of the frame, and the original grips show wear and have a minor scar at the butt on the right hand side.The action times well and locks up tight, but does not hold on single action. The bore retains very good rifling.The markings on the top of the barrel are clear.
