Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels retain 80% original blue finish with areas thinning to a smooth plum patina. The receiver and locks retain at least 90% original vivid case colors with areas fading to a smooth dove gray. The trigger guard has a couple of small dings, otherwise retains 95% original thinning blue finish with some minor oxidation on the tang. The wood is good overall. The stock has been freshened with a coat of varnish and the stock shows bubbling in the varnish. Otherwise there are some overall scattered minor dings, dents and scratches. The checkering is crisp. The markings remain clear and crisp. Mechanically very good.
