Hey all,
Found this at a gun show and it was missing the grips. Picked up some reproduction grips (which were nicer than I thought they'd be), a lanyard and canvas holster (yeah I know, canvas is WW2, but I think canvas holsters are cool). This one has seen some service, but she's still mechanically sound. Very little end shake to the cylinder, and timing is just fine. This was parkerized at some point, probably in the 1920's, following WW1, or it could have been early 1940's just as WW2 was kicking off. Anyhow, the bore is nearly mint condition so I expect she will shoot well.
