Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue finish with the loss on the lower tang, 98% original coin finish with some areas of light oxidation, and overall minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine with a tiny chip from the left of the forend, a few small scratches, and sharp checkering. Scope optics are sharp. Mechanically excellent.
