Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, retains 85% plus wartime arsenal applied blue, phosphate and black finishes with a few small areas of light freckling. The magazine shows a brown patina. The wood is very fine with defined edges, some light handling marks, a few cracks visible on top ahead of the buttplate, and crisp stampings. Mechanically excellent. The scope, mount and scope case are very fine, with clear optics. The transit crate is very good with some light wear and a few absent chipped sections.
