Rating Definition:

Fine. Approximately 40% original blue finish remains on the barrel the balance is now a mottled gray patina thinning along on high points with some overall handling marks and surface scratches. The loading lever displays some case colors and the latching end appears to have been repaired as the lever is bent downward approximately one half inch from the end. The frame shows vibrant flashes of original case colors the balance is now a mottled gray patina. The cylinder shows authentic use and is now a mottled gray/dark patina the majority of the engraving is smooth but still visible. The grip strap retains strong traces of original silver plating in sheltered areas the balance is a smooth mellow exposed brass The grips are revarnished with patches of varnish loss and a few pressure marks.
