Rating Definition:

Fine overall as partially refinished with 80% blue finish on the barrels, some areas of thinning blue, light gray patina, small dings, surface scratches and light edge wear. The Frame has areas of muted case colors with the majority aged to a gray/brown patina with clear markings and light handling marks. The wood is very good as lightly altered the recoil pad appears to be a later addition, and the butt appears to have been lightly trimmed. Recoil pad is hard and deteriorating. Mechanically very good.
