Rating Definition:

Very good as period refurbished. The revolver retains 80% blue finish with flaking on the frame, smooth mottled gray patina on the back strap and trigger guard, thinning to gray on the front strap, thinning on the barrel and a few small areas of minor spotting. The grips are also very good retaining most of the freshened varnish and showing a few scattered minor dings and handling marks. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
