Rating Definition:

Fine. The brass has an aged patina, and the iron has a blend of brown and gray patina along with some light pitting. The wood is also fine and has some minor scratches, faint cracks, and a sliver absent from the left side of the forend. The lock functions fine, and the markings are crisp.
