Rating Definition:

Very good as refurbished. The rifle retains 60% arsenal blue finish mixed with a smooth plum and mottled dark patina. The stock is very good with a number of small chips on the right side of the forearm and overall a few minor dings and handling marks. Some of the markings have been crudely recut. The bayonet is excellent, the scabbard is good with a smooth brownish patina and a few minor dings, and the scabbard is excellent. The markings are clear. The action is excellent.
