Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish, 60% of the original case colors, and 40% of the original nitre blue on the loading gate with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, some scattered light handling marks, and some light spotting. The wood is very fine with a few scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
