Rating Definition:

Excellent. The solid silver stock is exceptional with an attractive slightly tarnished, aged appearance. The casehardened lock has 80% remaining with the balance a smooth grayish brown patina. The remaining parts retain 90% original blue finish with scattered minor flaking and high edge wear. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear. The action is excellent. The case is extremely fine with some light scuffs present on exterior. It is warped at the butt and will not latch.
