Rating Definition:

Fine, the barrels retain traces of the original blue finish with a mostly brown/plum patina on the balance. There are also scattered patches of minor pitting and dents on the barrels. The side lever, trigger guard and grip cap retain 80% of the original high polish blue finish. The casehardened components retain 25% of the bright original case colors in the protected areas with a mostly smooth silvery patina on the balance and a couple small spots of oxidation. The right lock is missing a pin. The wood is very good with scattered scratches and dings. The buttplate has some scattered worm damage. Mechanically excellent.
