Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 95% original blue finish, 60% original case colors, a few areas of minor speckling on the barrels, and overall light handling evidence. There are small cracks on either side of the stock head and a stress line at upper tang, otherwise the wood is very fine with a few light marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
