Rating Definition:

Very good overall with 70% of the original high gloss blue fading overall with wear on the grip strap, the muzzle and some few minor areas of pitting on the left forward area of the slide. The slide also has signs of light scratches and handling marks throughout. The frame has aged to a brown patina with some minor scattered pitting with all markings remaining crisp and clear on both the slide and frame. The grips are very good and show some handling marks and wear mostly on the forward edges. Mechanically excellent.
