Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrels have 95% plus original blue finish with some light surface spotting, scattered small dings, and light surface scratches. The casehardened receiver has aged to a mostly brown/gray patina with traces of muted original colors on the sides, and stronger colors visible on the underside and under the break lever. The trigger guard and tang have taken on a mottled gray/brown patina. The wood is very good with well defined checkering, small handling marks, and some light surface scratches around the wrist. Mechanically excellent.
