Rating Definition:

Fine as professionally refinished with 95% of the blue, small traces of light pitting under the finish, markings buffed slightly light, and handling marks overall. The receiver has a smooth dark gray patina. The wood is fine with a carefully repaired chip on the forearm, crisp checkering, small bruises, small cracks and chips at the rear of the locks, and an added sliver of wood for the replacement recoil pad. Mechanically excellent. The case is good with thick slightly uneven varnish and small handling and storage marks overall.
