Rating Definition:

Excellent, 98% of the original blue finish remains on the barrel with a few small scratches, nicks, forearm wear and a couple small spots of oxidation. The trigger guard retains 98% original blue with some minor wear and some brown patina. The receiver, break lever and trigger plate retain nearly all of the original muted case colors. The stock is excellent with some scattered minor dings and scratches along with moderate crazing. Mechanically excellent. An exceptional Post-War Knick Model Special Order Single Barrel Trap.
