Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The metal surfaces have traces of blue in the protected areas with the balance a smooth mottled gray patina with some original case colors on the right side of the frame ahead of the cylinder. The grip is also very good with several minor age cracks on the bottom and an attractive patina. The markings are clear. The action functions, but is missing the half cock notch in the hammer. The modern case is very good with a few minor dings and scratches on the exterior and a small amount of minor contact wear on the lining.
