Rating definitionFine. The barrels retain 80% original blue finish with some minor muzzle wear and thinning on the breech end sides. The receiver retains 70% original blue finish with high edge and normal handling wear. The trigger guard plate is a mix of original blue finish, thinning finish and smooth gray patina. The trigger guard shows some edge wear and thinning on the tang with 75% blue remaining. The wood is very good plus with some scattered minor dents, dings and handling marks. The buttstock has been lightly reoiled. The checkering remains very crisp. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
