The back strap has usual engraving patterns at the top & bottom and full coverage on the butt. The trigger guard has engraving on the trigger bow and around the serial numbers.

The grip frame retains about 90% strong original silver with some light pimpling on the front strap and wear on the trigger guard. The grips are sound and have a small flat spot on the right edge, otherwise they are beautiful and retain a fine mellow color with a few minor age lines on the bottom. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with a few spots of scattered light pitting. Hamilton Collection 4-52118 JR823 (5,000-8,000)
