Rating Definition:

Good, with 60% of the blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina on the barrels, patches of pitting, and mild edge wear and handling marks. The frame shows a bright tone overall, darker in the lower areas of the engraving with light spotting. The stock is good as lightly sanded and cleaned with some pitting on the forearm hardware, a small amount of filler beneath the cheekpiece, and mild pressure dents. The safety does not function, otherwise mechanically good.
