This is a “non-matching” frame / barrel, “price reflected”.  Looks to have been re-blued at some point.  No pitting or major scratches, there is some bluing fading on the right-side of the gun above the frame, possibly from being in a holster at some point (no holster included).  The right wood grip is in very good shape, the left wood grip has some small chips / dents and about a 1/2” long vertical line / gouge in the lower part of the grip (see pics of wood grips).

Brass frame / grips looks to have been lacquered at some point in its lifetime.

Action works as should, cocks and fires, opens and closes.
