. I asked to look at it and found a very solid Ruger revolver with a lot of holster wear. It operated very well while it is quite dirty I found no powder residue. As you can see in a couple of these pictures, every crevice on this revolver is full of lint and dust from sitting in the holster. I could not get a good look at the bore, but the little light I got down the muzzle showed a possible mirror surface. I will find out today when I pull it apart and give it a good cleaning. I would like to know the year it was manufactured, but I am guessing sometime in the 60's. I don't know how much use this revolver has had, you rarely ever do with a used firearm. But I am guessing its seen a ton of carry and storage in the holster, but very little actual use. The holster is probably every bit as old and needs a little TLC as well. Now for the pics.Lets start with a shot of the holster. Here you can see how much wear this holster has. This has been worn a lot, either around the farm or hunting I suspect. There is a small bit of paint missing on the Ruger logo on the right side of the grip, but no gouges. You can also see the grips do not show that much wear. It's been used, but I am not sure it's been fired that much. You can see what looks like a small amount of surface rust starting on the hammer. There are a couple spots on the barrel also. The little brown specs you see on the revolver here are from the holster. It's little pieces of the interior of the holster coming off and sticking to the revolver. The Ruger logo on the left side of the grip is in perfect shape. Again you can see how well these grips have held up over the years. In this picture you can see the amount of dirt covering the screws in the back of the frame. Again, no powder residue, just years of lint.
