Rating Definition:

Excellent with 99% blue finish remaining on the barrels, break lever and trigger guard. The remaining surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The wood shows only light handling/storage marks and very crisp checkering. The engraving and markings are crisp and clear. The deep relief engraving remains sharp. The rear trigger does not always function and the remaining mechanics are fine. The case is excellent with a few minor dents on the exterior. The accessories are very good or better.
