Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel retains 75% original blue finish with overall minor flaking, edge wear and some scattered minor dings. The cylinder has a smooth mottled gray patina with scattered traces of the original dark blue finish, a few minor dents and clear scene, and markings. The trigger guard and back strap retain 90% original silver plating with some pin point blistering on the strap edges and some darkening with age. The exposed brass has an attractive aged patina. The hammer has a smooth mottled brown patina. The frame and loading lever retain 60% plus original case colors with some fading to a smooth gray. The grips are excellent with 95% plus original varnish, some very minor lower edge wear and a few minor dents and dings. The case is very good with scattered minor dents and scratches on the exterior. The lining has faded and there is some contact wear (heaviest from the front sight), and soiling. With the exception of the cap tin, which shows considerable oxidation, the accessories are very good.
