Drool on those Ruger Old Army's right there...
UPDATE - I went to the Hub and guess what was sitting there?
She's been around the block a bit, but I feel I got what I paid for. Cylinder is clean, nipples tight and clean, only rust spot on the forcing cone probably from a small amount of residue from a single firing session and then packed away for years.
I THINK that shouldn't affect too much as I certainly don't plan on trying any matches! But if you who know more than I say different, I will see what can be done. Right now, just scrubbed clean and oiled.
The revolver is an Uberti, which is good, as far as I know,
The presentation case, on the other hand, is, I think, an old Navy Arms case, minus the powder flask. I don't know what that funnel looking thing is - additional measure for the missing powder flask?
The mold showed me something else I like - a CONICAL mold! Very minor rust freckling on the sprue plate knocked right off.
Then, the icing on the cake, through a different venue comes what SHOULD be in this case - Navy Arms caps...sealed tin. I know literally NOTHING about these, how old, what size, etc.
I'm happy - divorce gun is in hand, and off to the range later this week.
