Rating Definition:Very fine, retains 85% plus original high polish blue finish and 60% original case colors with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are also very fine with some light handling marks, a moderate ding on the right panel, and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically fine with double action sometimes not functioning with slow trigger pull. The case is very good with some mild handling/storage wear.
