Rating Definition:

Professionally embellished by Custom Engraver N.C. Foster. The revolver retains 97% of the nickel finish showing some light speckling on the grip straps and a light cylinder drag line. Most of the gold plating remains. The grips are excellent with a few mild handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
