Rating Definition:

Good. The brass has been polished at some time and is beginning to age. The iron parts have a dark patina with some minor pitting. The stock has a repair which runs around the wrist, a repaired chip and chip on the left flat, a repaired crack on the left front and the grip area has been sanded and refinished. There are some minor dings and dents on the balance of the stock. The stock remains solid. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
