Rating Definition:

Refurbished to near new. The barrels retain 98% blue finish with some scattered light spotting. The trigger guard retains 98% blue finish with some thinning on the tang. The action retains 95% original case colors with some fading to gray on the edges. The wood has been lightly sanded and freshened with a coat of varnish and remains very good with a few scattered minor dings and handling marks. The markings and engraving are clear. Mechanically excellent. The case is good with some wear and scuffs.
