Rating Definition:

Fine. The revolver retains 70% of the original finish overall, concentrated mainly on the cylinder, hammer, ejector pin and protected areas. The balance has a smooth gray patina. The grips are excellent with a tiny chip on the left toe and overall light handling marks. The markings and engraving are clear. The action is excellent. The case is very good with a few minor scratches and dings on the exterior and some contact wear and soiling on the lining. The cartridge box is very fine with almost all of the labels remaining.
