Rating Definition:

Very good, with 90% of the refinished blue on the barrels, showing a few small patches of light gray on the muzzle and on the upper side of the left barrel. Small areas of brown, and scattered light handling marks. A smooth gray patina is forming on the frame, with 30% of the original bright case colors, strongest on the top strap and around the trigger guard. Stock is very good, with some light chipping and pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
