Rating Definition:

Very fine as period refinished. The barrels retain nearly 97% of the blue finish showing some thinning to a brown. The action retains 80% of the case colors. The wood is also very fine with a few minor pressure dents and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically fine. The case is very good with a full length hairline crack present on the lid and some wear to the lining.
