Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel cluster and hammer retain 80% of the original case colors. The frame retains all of the silver. The trigger guard has a smooth mottled gray patina with some traces of he original case colors. The safety retains almost all of the original bright niter blue finish and the hammer shows original niter blue in protected areas with the balance having a smooth mottled gray patina. The grips are excellent with only a few minor dings and handling marks, and crisp checkering. The action is crisp. The case is very good with a few minor dings and scratches on the exterior. The lining has faded and remains very good with some contact wear and staining. The accessories are good.
