Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels retain 97% original blue finish with some thinning giving way to a plum. The action retains 60% original case colors, mainly on the tangs and protected areas with a smooth silver gray patina on the balance. The break lever retains 80% original case colors and the trigger guard retains 20% original case colors. The forearm hardware has a smooth gray patina. The wood is also very fine with a few overall scattered minor dings and handling marks, with crisp checkering. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
