Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 97% plus original silver and gold finishes with the silver taking on an age darkened appearance, a circular patch of flaking on the right hammer side, and faint cylinder drag line. The grips are fine with hairline age cracks extending off the medallion. Mechanically excellent. Case is very fine with limited handling marks and typical high edge wear and staining on the lining.
