Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrel retains 98% original blue finish with a light scratch near the muzzle, and some very minor muzzle wear and spotting. The receiver retains 90% plus original blue finish with some thinning to a smooth plum. The lever and buttplate retain 80% original blue finish with normal usage wear. The wood is also excellent with a moderate 1 inch scratch on the right rear of the stock and overall a few minor dings and dents. The markings are crisp and clear. The action is fine.
