Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 97% original finish with some minor wear on the muzzle end and high edges of the slide, some minor thinning on the grip safety and a few scattered minor dings, and light scratches. The grips are excellent with a couple of very minor nicks and dings with sharp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. Period custom sights added as noted above. Mechanically excellent.
