Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished. The barrels have 95% plus blue finish remaining with crisp markings, small handling marks, and light muzzle wear. The casehardened receiver has original muted case colors in the more protected areas with the balance aged to a smooth silver/gray patina with fine detailed engraving and light handling marks. The refinished wood is very fine with some scattered small indentations, attractive grain, well defined checkering, and rich color. Mechanically excellent.
