Rating Definition:

Fine overall with 70% original dull military blue finish displaying areas of mottled brown/gray patina, primarily in the front grip strap, mainspring housing, and trigger guard. With scattered areas of spotting, minor surface pitting, and some edge wear on the high points. Grips are fine with well defined, though partially smoothed, checkering, scattered indentations, and slight chipping at the top of the left panel and around the grip screws. Mechanically excellent.
