Engraved border at the muzzle of the fine twist barrel, "42/crown/V" and "crown/GP" on the underside of the breech, scrollwork on the sides of the frame and "JOHN WITTON/ LONDON" in a shield on top.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel retains 60% of the original brown finish with a ding and light spotting on the muzzle and a well defined twist pattern. 40% case colors remain on the frame, strongest in the protected areas with a smooth gray patina forming on the remainder. 40% of the original niter blue finish is visible on the outer surface of the belt clip. The grips are very good, with some mild pressure dents and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
