Rating Definition:

Fine with 75% of the original blue finish on the barrels, scattered small nicks and dings, mild edge and high point wear, clear markings, and handling marks. The receiver has aged to a mostly silver/gray patina with faint traces of original case colors, handling marks, some light brown spotting, and clear markings. The wood is very good as refinished and sanded and has scattered small dings. Mechanically excellent.
