Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel and ejector housing retains 97% original blue finish with some minor wear on the muzzle and the edge of the ejector housing. The back strap retains 50% original finish concentrated on the top and butt, with the balance having a smooth plum patina. The front strap/trigger guard retain 95% original blue finish with areas of gray patina and minor spotting on the front strap. The cylinder retains 95% original blue finish with some thinning, a drag line and high edge wear. At least 98% of the original bright case colors remain on the frame. There is some minor age discoloration on the sides of the hammer. The grips are excellent with a few minor dings and crisp checkering. All markings are crisp. The action is excellent.
