The checkered wood grips have been renumbered to match (the original numbers X'd out) and the blue finished alloy base magazines are mixed numbered, otherwise the pistol is matching numbered overall.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 70% of the original blue, showing areas of cold blue touch up mixed with brown and gray patina, bright edge wear, and mild handling marks and spotting. The very fine grips are a bit oversized, with dings and flat spots concentrated on the left side. The holster is very good, with some cracks and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
