Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels retain about 90% original blue with the beginnings of a gray patina strongest on the sides and some minor scratches. The frame and forearm hardware retain about 90% case colors with a protective coating. There is a minor crack near the lower tang, otherwise the freshened wood has some scattered mild dings and scratches. The receiver markings are weak, but legible. The box is very fine with a protect transparent wrap.
