Rating Definition:

Very good, the finish is mostly a smooth mottled brown patina with some wear on the edges and high areas. Traces of blue on the receiver near the safety catch and on the cylinder release lever. Mechanically excellent. The grips are good with some scratches and pressure dents. The holster is fine with tight stitching and the usual service wear.
