Rating Definition:

Very good, the barrel retains 60% of the faded original blue finish with some rough patches of oxidation and brown patina. Strong traces of the original case colors remain with a mixed silvery gray and brown patina. The wood is very good as refinished with scattered minor scratches and dings along with a few minor chips absent. Mechanically excellent.
