Rating Definition:

Partially refinished, the barrels with 99% blue finish remaining with some minor pitting under the finish and a few minor dings. The trigger guard and break lever retain 85% original blue finish with some smooth gray patina on the trigger guard tang and some flaking on the break lever. The hammers retain 40% original case colors, mostly in the protected areas, The frame and locks have a smooth gray patina with strong case colors in protected areas. The wood is very fine with a small repaired area on the right wrist which is bulging a bit, otherwise there are a few scattered minor dings and dents, and well defined checkered. The exterior of the case is good with scuffs and scratches. The straps show some heavy wear and some age cracking. The interior is excellent, as are all of the accessories.
