Rating Definition:

Good. The rifle retains 20% of the original blue finish with it mottled to a brown patina with scattered scratches and dings. The casehardened hammer and lever are mixed to a smooth grey patina. The brass elevator has a smooth dark patina. The markings are clear. The reoiled wood is fair with scattered scratches, dings, four inch sliver absent from the left side of the forearm, small chip absent from the toe of the stock and small crack on the right side of the stock near the buttplate. Mechanically fine.
