Rating Definition:

Fine as professionally converted. The barrel retains 85% of the blue finish. The action has traces of the mostly silvered case colors. There are scattered patches of light oxidation and mild pitting. The wood is very good with crisp checkering, numerous dings and scrapes, and a few chips. It is mechanically excellent and has crisp markings. The case is fine with moderate aging and wear from handling and storage including some staining and tears, and the accessories are very good.
