Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining 70% plus original phosphate and 60% plus original blue finishes with scattered light patches of spotting/freckling, light edge wear, dried varnished on the buttplate, some dried grease in protected areas, and light handling marks. The stock is also fine as sanded and varnished with scattered light chipping and scrapes in the varnish finish. Mechanically excellent. The scope is very fine with scattered light patches of spotting on the body and mostly clear optics, with a mount that is stuck to the receiver rail.
