Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially period refinished, with 98% Stevens Factory applied blue finish remaining on the barrel. The receiver retains 98% case colors, while the lever and buttplate retain 70% fading original case colors. The wood is fine with most varnish remaining with overall scattered minor dings and scratches. The barrel markings are fading, but readable. The action is excellent. An interesting Winchester Low Wall rebored by Stevens A&T Company.
