Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refurbished, retaining 95% plus blue finish on the barrels, 50% case colors with the balance a fine grey, light handling evidence, discoloration on the lower tang, and spotting on the barrels. The replacement stock is also very fine with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
