Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels have aged to an attractive gray patina with strong visible Damascus patterning and some scattered light nicks and dings. The receiver has 15% of the original muted case colors in the more protected areas, the balance has aged to a smooth silver/gray patina with fine crisp engraving, clear markings, and handling marks mostly in the grip area. The wood is fine with well defined checkering, handling marks, small pressure indentations, and attractive grain. Mechanically excellent.
