Rating Definition:

Very fine. The revolver retains 75% plus of the bright original blue finish with a mottled brown finish with scattered scratches and dings. The hammer and trigger have a vivid niter blue finish with some minor brown speckling. The markings are legible. The grips are also very fine with sharp cartouches, scattered scratches, dings, and pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
