Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel, ejector housing and cylinder are a mix of 40% original thin blue finish and the balance a smooth gray patina. The grip straps have a smooth gray patina with traces of original thin blue finish in the protected areas of the trigger guard and at the top of the back strap. The frame and hammer have a smooth mottled gray patina with strong traces of original case colors in protected areas. The grips are very good with heavy wear on the right panel, a few minor dings overall and crisp checkering on the left panel. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
