Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrel shows a handsome Damascus pattern exhibiting only minor handling marks and scuffs. The lower casehardened receiver has aged to a pleasant dark, almost frosted patina and the side plates are both an even gray smooth patina. The wood is very good and displays some overall pressure marks and scuffs. The checkering is crisp.
