Rating Definition:

Very fine as restored with 97% plus blue finish on the barrels, markings buffed slightly light but still legible, traces of light pitting under the blue, and handling marks. The casehardened receiver has evidence of cleaned pitting, slightly buffed markings, and handling marks. The wood is very good as freshened with sharp checkering, small handling marks, and small visible wood fills on the left side near the butt. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with mild storage wear on the exterior and some light staining on the interior.
