Rating Definition:

Very fine. The rifle retains 85% original bright blue finish with some scattered thinning and flaking, overall high edge wear and some streaking on the receiver. About half of the upper tang has a smooth gray patina. The wood is very fine with some speckled finish loss on the stock. Overall there are a few minor dings and scratches. The barrel markings are sharp, the receiver marking is clear. The action is excellent.
