Rating Definition:

Very good with 75% of the thinning blue finish, scattered small dings, light gray patina, traces of cleaned pin point pitting, spotting, and handling marks overalls. The wood is very good as refreshed with some slight gaps around the metal, crisp checkering, and a newer coat of varnish. Mechanically excellent. The optics are clear.
