Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally custom embellished. The revolver retains 99% plus of the nickel finish with a light cylinder drag line. The grips are undersized at the top of the back strap otherwise very fine with a couple hairline cracks and an attractive color. Mechanically fine.
