Rating Definition:

Very good overall. The barrels retain 60% of the original blue finish with scattered scratches, finish loss and muzzle wear. The frame retains 50% of the original case colors with slight handling marks and has faded to a smooth silver patina. The engraving and gold inlays are clear. The wood is very good with a few minor dings and a chip repair on the right side of the forearm. The checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent.
