Rating Definition:

Refinished some time ago with almost all of the Damascus pattern remaining. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The stock has been repaired at the upper wrist at the frame and the wood has been refinished remaining very fine with some minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are clear. The mechanics are fine.
