The matching serial number is marked on the butt, bottom of the barrel, and rear of the cylinder, and is mistakenly marked "2823" inside each grip.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 95% plus of the untouched original nickel finish with some scattered light spotting/flaking and crisp engraving overall. The grips are also very fine with a minor chip in the right panel and otherwise only the slightest handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is very fine with a few scattered patches of flaked varnish and otherwise minimal wear.
