Rating Definition:

Period custom embellished with 99% of the various plated finishes remaining. Almost all of the gold highlight in the engraving remains. 95% of the gold on the small components remains with some thinning and edge wear on the trigger. The relief carved walnut grips are extremely fine with some minor scratches. The engraving remains clear. Mechanically excellent. The case is near excellent with a few minor scratches on the exterior, the lining and accessories are excellent.
