Rating Definition:

Near mint, retaining nearly all of the Smith & Wesson high polish blue finish, showing only very minor storage marks. Grips are near mint, with wear limited to faint compression marks. The sight and grip screws have no tool marks. The case retains about 95% of the original blue, with some thinning on the bottom, and excellent interior with limited some oil stains on the edge. Tools are in new condition. This is a nearly new example of a scarce Smith & Wesson line target pistol with original case.
