Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels retains 98% plus original blue finish with some minor muzzle wear. The trigger guard retains 95% original blue finish with some edge wear and a couple tiny dings. The action retains 90% plus original case colors in protected areas with a smooth attractive gray patina on the balance. The wood is very fine with the varnish showing signs of beginning to craze, otherwise a few minor handling marks and crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
