I just got this one -
It is a fairly early one, with the Pressed Steel Stocks, and, the full Round Checked Button on the 'Fire/No-Fire' Arm.
Seems low Mileage, and other than fine 'Freckles' the Blue is still very thorough and little wear to any high edges, but, faded somewhat.
Inside was 'dry' as a proverbial Bone ( I doubt this has been Lubed ever!! Or since leaving the Factory, I mean ) with old rust color film on everything inside, and everything bound up and stuck...did some Oiling, gradual loosening and so on, got the Slide to move a little, then more, got it field stripped, and will do a thorough cleaning and lube sometime soon. Looks little used, but apparently not well cared for at some point.
It has the cutest little Sights on it, front and rear.
Anyone else into there, please Post s'mimages of yours!
