Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally custom embellished, with 97% plus high polish blue, showing mild spotting and handling marks overall. Serial numbers are mixed, absent, or added on some components. Frame is number 21e, and 3921e is stamped below which corresponds to the barrel and extension. The stag grips are very fine and show some light handling marks. Mechanically functions fine, but the hold open does not engage.
