Rating Definition:

Professionally refinished and converted. 98% of the current blue is visible on the barrel, with some mild pitting and handling marks. A few areas of brown patina are visible on the rear of the barrel around the ejector, the front of the trigger guard and on the upper tang. The start of a silver patina is present on the underside of the frame, with bright and vivid case colors overall. Stock is very good, with scattered pressure dents and fine varnish. Mechanically excellent.
