Rating Definition:

Very fine. The slide retains 80% of the faded original purple hued blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The frame retains 70% faded original high polished blue finish with a gray patina on the grip straps and some minor edge wear. There is some scattered light spotting and pin point pitting, with some minor pitting mostly on the slide. The grips are excellent with some scattered minor scratches. Trigger slow to reset, otherwise mechanically very good.
