Steve,

In my opinion only. Any collectable gun, unless it's one of less than 500 to 1000 or so ever made, loses any collectable interest after it's gotten below the 80% grade. It has been my experience that once it has become pitted. No matter how much blue it has left. It has lost all interest to collectors or has been relegated to the non-collectable list. This is purely subjective, and is my own personal grading system.
