Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels exhibit a smooth brown patina with a smooth gray patina forming at the chambers. The case color has turned to a smooth coin patina with limited traces of fade case color. Overall, the wood is very good with some minor dings and scratches, a couple of moderate dings and some light chips around the frame. There are a few moderate dings in the overall sharp checkering. The recoil pad has some moderate cracking. The markings and engraving are clear and crisp.
