Rating Definition:

Fine as rechambered and partially refinished (the barrels) with half of the blue finish on the barrels with the balance a smooth brown patina. The remaining metal surfaces retain 30% silvered out original case colors. The wood is fine with some minor handling marks, dings and some chipping on the upper edge of the forearm. The checkering remains crisp overall. Left trigger will not set and right hammer spur is cracked otherwise the mechanics are fine.
