Rating Definition:

Refurbished, the barrels and trigger guard with 99% English black finish remaining showing minor pitting under the finish on the rib and on the trigger guard. The frame and side plates retain 99% original finish with some discoloration on the right fence. The wood has been refinished and the checkering professionally recut. The wood remains very good with a few minor dings and dents. The heel and toe plates show some discoloration. The checkering is sharp and the markings are legible. Mechanically excellent. A fine Stephen Grant & Sons best sidelock number 1 of a game bird set.
