Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refinished (barrels), with 95% of the blue. A small area of the right barrel has been cleaned and reblued, and there is also some peening marks on the left barrel approximately 4 inches back from the muzzle. The balance shows light general handling marks, small surface scratches and some scattered dings. The frame has some original case colors mostly in protected areas the balance has aged to a mostly uniform silver/gray patina with some light spotting nearer the trigger guard. The wood is very good with scattered light indentations, surface scratches and a glossy varnish finish. Mechanically very good.
