Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels show about 97% of a rich dark brown patina mixed with a light brown patina and some minor spotting. The frame and forearm hardware retain about 10% of the darkened case colors in the protected area with a smooth gray patina overall. The side plates have a smooth dark patina. There is a shallow gash on the buttstock, otherwise the wood is fine with some minor dings and scratches. The checkering is crisp and the engraving and markings are clear.
