Rating Definition:

Fine, with 60% plus of the original high polish blue finish, showing a few areas of brown patina on the slide and grip straps, scattered spotting of varying depth and intensity, takedown lines on the slide and scattered handling marks. The grips are very good, with some dings and wear. Mechanically excellent.
