Rating Definition:

Very good overall as refurbished. The barrels retain 89% of the blue finish with minor dings at the muzzle and mottling to a smooth silver patina. The receiver retains 95% of the, as refinished, coin finish with only slight handling marks. The engravings are crisp and clear. The wood has minor scattered scratches and dings and few pressure dents on the right side of the forearm. The checkering is crisp. Mechanically excellent.
