Rating Definition:

Extremely fine with 85% bright original high polish blue finish remaining, showing some thinning on the muzzle end of the barrel, cylinder and grip straps. There are a few minor scratches visible on the trigger guard. The frame retains 80% plus original vivid case colors with a smooth mottled brown patina on the balance. The hammer shows 90% of the original bright case colors with a smooth gray patina on the top. The sharp original grips have slightly faded to brown and remain excellent with a few minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action locks up tight and functions fine. If you wanted to own one 44-40 Colt Bisley and not break the bank, here it is!
