Rating Definition:

Fine as refinished. The barrels retain 30% of the blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The remaining metal surfaces retain 40% of the case colors. The front triggerguard screw is an undersized replacement. The wood is very fine with a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically fine.
