Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel and cylinder retain 75% original blue finish with muzzle wear, some thinning and a few minor scratches and dings on the barrel. The cylinder shows some thinning to brown, scratches and high edge wear. The trigger guard and back strap show strong original blue in protected areas with a smooth brown patina on the balance. The outer surface of the ejector housing has a smooth brown patina with the protected areas showing almost all of the original blue finish. The frame retains 40% original case colors concentrated in the protected areas with a smooth mottled silver gray patina on the balance. The front sight has been cut down a bit and there are a few small dings along the top edge. The grips are also fine with a few minor dings and handling marks, and crisp checkering. The markings remain crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
