Rating Definition:

Very good as professionally modified (see above) and partially refinished (barrels) with 95% blue finish remaining showing some wear on the fences, high edges and on the lower tang. There is a small area of minor pitting on the trigger guard. There is an area of minor oxidation on the left barrel at the mid bead sight. There are some light scratches on the trigger guard plate and underside of the receiver. There are some touch-ups on the top of the action. The wood is excellent with a few minor handling marks. The checkering on the stock wrist and forearm has been recut, and overall the checkering is very crisp. The markings remain crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
