Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel has a mottled brown-gray patina and the receiver has a smooth dark patina with the lever and trigger guard retaining 40% original case colors. There are a couple areas of minor pitting. The wood is very fine with some minor handling marks and some scattered minor blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically fine.
