External numbers are matching overall with a New Safety hammer, slotted back strap, matching floorplate, and matching numbered 24-groove grips with a branded and red-filled "9" on each panel.

Rating Definition:

Excellent plus, with 97% plus original blue finish, showing some stock rubs on the barrel and frame, a few tool marks around the floorplate and light handling marks overall. The grips are also excellent plus, with an extremely small chip missing near the right screw escutcheon. The stock is also excellent, with 90% original blue on the iron, a few light dings visible on the wood, and the harness is very fine with mild scuffs. Mechanically excellent. If you have been looking for one of these, you need not look further!
