It has a few nicks and scratches...It has been used for sure by my friends father for many years as a police chief...He told me he shot at one person with it...not been fired much...pretty gun.Thanks for the quick replies.
Nicks and scratches = character. if it's smooth to operate, isn't loose, and doesn't jam, it should be a good buy.
Don't forget to go boating soon and lose it in a freak accident...
