Rating Definition:

Excellent plus with approximately 99% of the original finish remaining, thinning on the high edges near the muzzle. The two tone magazine is excellent. The box is good, edge wear at the corners and the hinge edge is beginning to separate. The rear two corners have split and the interior of the box has wear from the hammer and front sight. All printed information on the inner lid is clear and complete. The end label is good, lightly soiled and a tiny bit of the corner missing. It is firmly attached and all information is clear.
