Rating Definition:

Very fine, showing 80% plus of the crisp original blue finish, showing the start of a brown patina on the grip straps, minor handling evidence, and scattered areas of pitting. The grips are also very fine with replacement left bottom screw, some dings and scratches, and mostly sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
