Rating Definition:

Very good, with half of the original brown finish on the barrels, showing a few areas of fading on the otherwise strong Damascus twist pattern. A bright gray patina is showing on the frame, with hints of color in the protected areas. The trigger guard has been repaired. Some light scratches and pressure dents are present on the stock, which has an excellent grain pattern. Mechanically excellent.
