Rating Definition:

Good as partially refinished, the barrels, which retain most of the refurbished brown finish showing scattered minor pitting under the finish. Almost all of the Damascus twist pattern is visible. The remaining metal surfaces have a gray patina with minor pitting on the trigger guard and tang. The stock is excellent. The buttplate at the toe is a bit ill-fitting, otherwise there are a few scattered minor dents, handling marks and crisp checkering. The engraving and markings are clear. The action is fine. The case is good with remnants of old stickers on the exterior, as well as some edge wear. The leather straps are absent. The replacement lining is excellent, the lid is soiled and shows some tears. The shot flask has some moderate pitting, otherwise the accessories are very good.
