Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine. 95% original blue finish remains with some edge and muzzle wear, and light surface scratches. The anodized slide has an attractive green color with 70% remaining, the balance bright with handling marks and light scratches. Grips are very fine with sharp checkering, and small dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is fine with dings and scuffs overall, damaged hinge, and spotting on the metal components.
