Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with 99% of the original blue finish on the barrels and polished coin on the frame displaying only the most minimal of light handling marks. The engraving and inlays are masterfully executed in incredibly high detail, delicacy and complexity. The wood is excellent with a high amount of very attractive figuring in the buttstock, sharp checkering and minimal light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent with some light storage marks. Extra barrels are excellent with only light handling marks.
