Rating Definition:

Fair, with moderate pitting around the nipple and scattered dings and spotting. Barrel and action show cleaning marks. Grip is repaired and revarnished, with a mended crack in the wrist and on the reverse, along with scratches, pressure dents and dark areas. Stock is good, with dings, scratches and a few spots of white paint. Brass shows an artificially aged patina. Primer cover latch is absent, otherwise the action functions.
