Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 90% plus original blue and coin finishes, scattered scratches along the barrels, and some areas of light spotting. The wood is good with numerous cracks and repairs with two pins in the wrist and a through bolt at the head and a pinned section at the action, trigger guard separated with a crack, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
