Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have aged to a mostly smooth dark brown patina overall with some visible Damascus pattern on the shotgun barrels, scattered small dings, surface scratches, handling marks, and some rougher spotting and evidence of light pitting. The receiver has a mostly dark brown/gray patina with handling marks and clear markings. The refinished wood is fine with well defined checkering, handling marks, and small indentations throughout. Mechanically very good.
