Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refinished. The barrels have been re-blued and show some covered over pitting scattered overall with about 90% of the new blue finish. The receiver has aged to a smooth gray with traces of the original case colors still visible in protected areas. All markings and the engraving is crisp. The wood is very fine with some thinning of the finish at the wrist, some worn checkering and a few dings and scratches overall. The initial oval is marked with the initials "JL" in script while the leather covered recoil pad is excellent with a few areas of light wear. Mechanically excellent.
