Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel retains 80% plus original blue finish showing high edge wear and light spotting. The frame, cylinder, hammer and loading lever have a mottled gray patina. The grip straps retain nearly 20% original silver plating with the exposed brass having an aged patina. A collector's number in vinyl is on the butt. The slightly undersized refinished grip is fine showing some minor pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
