Rating Definition:

Arsenal refurbished. The pistol retains 90% of the thinning blue finish with the grip straps thinned to a brown. The small parts retain strong traces of straw color. The grips are very fine with a few minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The arsenal modified holster is very good with some minor handling marks and age cracking with some absent and replacement stitching.
