Rating Definition:

Very good with 70% of the finish, light dings at the muzzle, scattered small surface scratches, and general handling type marks on the barrels. The frame has 40% of the original case colors with areas faded to a mottled gray/brown patina, light handling marks, and very clear engravings. The trigger guard shows a mixture of original blue, some brown patina, and a smooth gray patina in the grip area. The wood is very good with scattered indentations and surface scratches, sharp checkering, and attractive grain. The recoil pad is cracking with age deterioration.
