Rating Definition:

Fine as period refinished (barrels and wood), the barrels retain 98% plus of the high quality blue finish with some minor wear and some loss of definition on the engraved bands at the breech ends of the barrels. The trigger guard and break lever retain 90% plus of the original blue finish. The casehardened components retain traces of the original case colors in the protected areas with a bright appearance on the balance. The reoiled wood is also fine with some scattered scratches, dings and a minor chip on the forearm. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with wear, flaking and indentions.
