Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 90% original blue finish with some thinning to a brown patina (more prevalent on barrel) with moderate muzzle wear and some minor edge wear. There is some scattered minor pitting and minor spotting. The small parts retain 70% original straw color. There is a minor chip missing on the right panel near the bottom, otherwise the grips are very fine with some minor nicks and bruises in the over all crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Holster is fine with minor handling marks and flex wear.
