Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels have been period refurbished with most of the brown finish and Damascus pattern remaining. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray and gray mottled patina. The stock has been lightly sanded and refinished. The checkering is smooth with most of the pattern visible. The markings and engraving are clear and crisp. The action is excellent.
