Unrelieved sear

Norm,
Thank you. So does the unrelieved sear indicate that the weapon was probably captured before this could be performed? I don't see them very often.
I was able to strip and clean up the pistol today. Your suggestion of light scrubbing with bronze wool saturated with CLP worked quite well. The old pistol looks quite presentable with all numbered parts matching and in good shape. The bore was filthy but after repeated passing of the bore brush and patches it revealed decent rifling and minimal pitting. While not sparkling it is certainly usable. There was a bit of surface rust beginning under the grips but nothing serious. I will try to post some pictures later but as of now I am quite happy that I was able to pick it up for $1125. It has enough wear to let you know that it was used.

Regards,
Ricardo
