Very heavily polished and reblued. Check to see if you can still see a cylinder number, and check the wedge for a number. No collector value, but something nice to get from grampa. Something I would keep in the family.

Thanks to all for the info and the welcome.

All I got from grandpa was advice, "Don't eat the yellow snow".

And with the weather we all are having that good advice. Here in MN where I'm from we woke up to -36 this morning.
Gotta love it.

I like it, definitely not an abused example. Now, only one other part to check: Once the wedge is removed, pull the barrel off and remove the cylinder. The shaft that the cylinder is on is called the "arbor". Check to see if the portion of the serial number is stamped on the arbor. The way this revolver looks I'll bet it is there.
