Rating Definition:

Fine with 85% plus finish. The silver remains 95% intact and has a natural aged patina. The left "barb" on the frame is broken off and in the corresponding hole in the barrel lug. There are some scattered marks and scratches concentrated on the barrel and period refinished cylinder. The grip is fine and has numerous scrapes and dents, light edge wear, and glossy varnish. Mechanically fine. The relined case is fair and has moderate storage wear including some chipping. The accessories are generally very good with mild storage wear.
