Rating Definition:

Excellent. The revolver retains 90% bright original high polish blue finish showing scattered light handling wear and scattered surface oxidation. The grips are good with moderate handling wear. All markings are crisp. The actions functions perfectly. The case is very fine with exterior showing moderate handling and storage wear. This is an excellent example of a Webley "WG" Target Model Double Action revolver with correct case.
