Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels retain 98% original blue finish with a few minor scratches and some wear on the lower barrel under the forearm from normal usage and some minor spotting on the upper left side. The remaining parts retain 98% original coin finish with some thinning and discoloration on the lower tang. The wood is also excellent with only a couple very light pressure dents and handling marks, with sharp checkering. The engraving remains crisp. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with some corner wear, and some interior contact wear and stains, as well as a small torn area caused by the front of the frame.
