Rating Definition:

Very good as refurbished, with 90% of the blue finish, showing a few patches of bright gray patina around the muzzle, rib and sling swivel and scattered handling marks and spotting. The frame is satin coin. Stock repaired, with a plug in the forearm, darkening around the metal, freshened finish and checkering, a few tiny chips and minimal pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
