Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 99% original nickel finish with a light cylinder drag line and overall some minor dings and handling marks. The hammer and trigger retain 98% bright original case colors. The grips are also excellent with a few minor dings and handling marks. The markings and engraving remain crisp and clear. The action is excellent. The case is good with some heavy exterior wear and a small tear in the lining where the hammer lays.
