Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally embellished and finished with 99% of the blue finish. The model marking on the replaced barrel has been hand cut. The engravings are finely detailed and sharp and the metal shows light handling marks. The wood is very fine with intense figure, sharp checkering, a few small indentations, and light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
