Rating Definition:

Fine with 30% of the original blue finish which is flaked on the barrel and cylinder and hand, 50% original case colors, smooth gray and light brown patina on the balance, some light pitting, and minor overall wear. The grip is very fine and has glossy varnish, minor dings and scratches, and light edge wear. Mechanically excellent. The relined case exhibits storage related wear with the exterior of the case being refinished. The bullet mold is reblued with the other accessories being very good.
