Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel and cylinder retains nearly 30% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The frame retains 95% plus aged darkened original silver plating. The grips are also fine showing a missing small chip near the bottom (right panel), some moderate high edge wear, and some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
