Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refinished, retaining 99% brown and casehardened finishes, some blue loss on the lower tang, some minor handling evidence, some pitting beneath the forend, some small gaps in the wood to metal fit, and crisp checkering on the wood. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent.
