Rating Definition:

Custom embellished with most of nickel finish remaining. The finish is beginning to frost in most areas. The grips are a bit loose and ill-fitting, otherwise very good with minor age cracks radiating from the screw hole, light handling marks and a mellow aged patina. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear. The cylinder has a bit of play, otherwise the action is very good. The case is very good overall, the lid is slightly warped, there are a few minor scratches and the corners are starting to separate. The lining is very good showing some minor contact wear.
