Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refinished with 99% of the blue, a small area of light pitting that has been cleaned and reblued on the left barrel, two plugged vent holes in the bottom of the rib indicating high temperature bluing, some light surface scratches and general light handling marks. The frame features muted case colors with areas of aged gray patina, crisp detailed engravings and clear markings. The wood is very good as refreshed and lightly altered to accommodate the recoil pad. Mechanically very good.
