Rating Definition:

Fine. The revolver retains 40% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. There is some pin prick type pitting (mostly on the cylinder). The grips are fine with small chip missing near the bottom and a few minor handling marks. The checkering is crisp overall. Mechanically excellent.
