Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels and trigger guard retain approximately 95% of the original finish with a small area near the muzzle that has been cleaned and there are a few minor dings along the rib and on the barrel. The action retains approximately 95% of the original bright case colors with some light fading. The break lever retains 98% original bright case colors. The wood is excellent with a few minor dings, a minor scratch in the checkering on the left side of the wrist and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
