Rating Definition:

Very fine. The rifle retains 70% of the original blue finish with some scattered minor pitting on the barrel, smooth gray patina on the takedown ring, thinning to gray on the bottom of the receiver and some high edge wear. The hammer and lever retain strong traces of the original faded case colors with gray patina on the balance and some minor pitting on the lever. The buttplate has a smooth mottled brown patina. The wood is also very fine with 98% original finish and overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent.
