Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished, 98% of the high quality blue finish remains with some scattered minor scratches and dings along with a series of big dings on the front of the trigger plate that doesn't sit flush with the receiver. There are some areas of the finish that have a purple hue. Nearly all of the engraving and markings are sharp and well defined. The refinished wood is very good with some scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
