Rating Definition:

Excellent with 99% of the original finish on the barrels and frame, displaying light general handling marks and some light oxidation on the left side ejector. The wood is also excellent with sharp checkering, attractive grain, general light handling marks and a slightly rough patch of varnish on the right side of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with some slight discoloration on the exterior.
