Manhattan Series IV Navy - 2
So, what are the characteristics that make a pistol desirable? Different
collectors may have different opinions, but generally those characteristics
include:
* An abundance of original silver on the trigger guard and grip straps,
* Original blue on the barrel and frame
* Strong engraving and/or deep, clear cylinder scene
* Excellent wood on the grips with original finish
* All original parts
* Mechanically sound
* Clean bore
A strong imprint of the manufacturer's name on the barrel is desirable, too.
