Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 95% original blue finish with some loss on the triggerguard/lower tang, 98% original case colors on the action, and a few minor handling marks and scratches. The wood is very fine with a few scratches, a few flakes in the varnish, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
