The pistol is fitted with a one piece walnut grip with silver wire and floral inlays.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The metal surfaces have a smooth mottled silver gray patina. The grip is excellent with only the slightest handling marks and all of the silver inlay intact. The markings and engraving remain crisp and clear. The action is excellent. The case is very good with a few cracks along the bottom and some minor dings and scratches. The lining is very good, the two compartment lids are a bit lighter and have possibly been redone. The accessories are all very good.
