Rating Definition:

Very good plus. The barrel shows 30% thinning blue finish with almost all of the Damascus pattern remaining. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth brown patina with traces original blue finish on the magazine tube and traces of case colors under the lever. The wood is very good overall with most of the varnish remaining and showing numerous small pressure dents on the stock, a few very small gouges on the left side of the forearm, and overall crisp checkering. The markings are clear. The action is fine.
