Rating Definition:

Excellent overall, with 90% of the blue finish, showing some mild handling marks, bright edge wear and spotting. The overall fit and finish of the pistol is on the crude side, typical of late-WWII Japanese military hardware. Grips are very fine, with some dents and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
