Rating Definition:

Very fine with 95% original blue finish on the barrels, some forearm retraction marks, and light surface scratches. The receiver engraving is sharp and detailed with faint traces of a darker patina. The wood is very good with attractive figure, well-defined checkering, and some small dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
