Rating Definition:

Very good as an apparent Vietnam War bring-back, with minor edge wear, what appears to be a bullet impact mark and smaller shrapnel scars on the barrel, slight bulging in the bore, some minor spotting/freckling, brown patina, and mild handling wear. The stock is also very good as sanded and varnished. Mechanically excellent.
