I gotta throw in with Ron here...I mean it's pretty simple. How much of the gun is missing? Mostly we talk about blue when grading but there are many other factors, grip wear, chips, nicks etc. The bore is also to be considered. Boogered up screws and on and on.
The front of "the Blue Book of Gun Values" Has a section that has excellent photo's and explains their take on grading percentages. Pretty interesting reading. The photo's leave nothing to be desired.
In quite a few offerings I come accross on auction sites as well as Sellers sites the photo's are not only poor but do not show many pertinant areas of interest. I don't believe people will sell as well with bad photographs.

Peter says: I will not say who he is, that would not be fair...
But I think he also post on this forum, so maybe he will take a hint....

I would have no trouble identifying a seller who rates his items in this fashion. Why all the privacy? He must believe it himself or he would not be offering these on the open market.
