Rating Definition:

Very fine. The pistol retains 90% plus are all original blue finish showing thinning to brown and high edge wear. The grips are also very fine with a sizeable dent on the right panel, otherwise some minor handing marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The belt, pouches, and the holster fine showing some minor scuffs, handling/storage marks and tight stitching.
