Rating Definition:

Very fine. The pistol retains 75% plus original silver plating, concentrated mainly on the barrel, trigger and grip strap. There is a smooth gray patina on the balance. The grips are also very fine with a couple small age cracks and a small chip on the left heel. The markings are clear and the engraving is crisp. The action is fine. The box is very good with some corner and edge wear. A once in a lifetime opportunity to own the finest Remington Vest Pocket pistol with it's original factory box!
