Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 98% original blue finish with some minor muzzle wear, a couple of small light scratches, a small dent on the butt and a faint drag line on the cylinder. The frame retains 99% plus original bright case colors. The grips are also excellent with a few small minor pressure dents. The markings are sharp. The action is excellent. The box is good with a portion of the front lid flap absent, three separated corners on the lid and some minor fraying along the hinge.
