Rating Definition:

Factory reblued with 98% blue finish remaining. There is some muzzle wear and a broad drag line on the cylinder. There are a couple of small dings and a small amount of very minor pitting under the finish, and overall there are a few scattered minor dings and scratches. 80% of the case colors remain on the trigger and hammer. The grips are excellent with a few minor dings and scratches. The markings are readable. The action is excellent. The box is good with a couple minor tape repairs, some heavy corner wear, intact labels and staining on the interior.
