Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains traces of thin original blue finish with a smooth mottled gray patina on the balance. There are several of dents on the barrel, mainly around the wedge. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth dark patina with a few minor dents on the cylinder. The brass for the most part is bright and there are traces of the original silver plating in protected areas and several little dents on the butt. The grip is also very good with much of the varnish remaining, showing some minor wear and chips on the lower edges, and overall some scattered minor dents and dings. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
