Rating Definition:

Fine with 30% original blue remaining on the barrel, patches of original blue on the protected areas of the grip straps, 70% original case colors, smooth gray and brown patina on the balance, generally minor wear overall, and a distinct cylinder scene. The grip is very fine and retains the majority of the original varnish and has a small chip at the toe on the right and a few scrapes. Mechanically fine. The case and accessories are very good with mild age and storage related wear, including a dent on the flask and crack in the case lid.
