Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels retain 97% original blue finish with some minor muzzle wear and some wear under the forearm from normal usage. The inside protected area of the trigger guard bow has most of the original blue finish with a smooth gray on the balance. The break lever retains 90% original blue finish with normal usage thinning. Virtually all of the original coin finish remains. The wood is also excellent with a few minor scattered dings and sharp checkering on the wrist, crisp on the forearm. The cross bolt doesn't lock in properly, (protrudes slightly), the break lever is off center. Mechanically needs work as the trigger fires one barrel but not the other. May have something to do with the cross bolt issue mentioned earlier.
