Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refinished with 80% of the thinning blue finish remaining, legible though light markings, some small scattered dings, and slight variances in color. The receiver has traces of original muted case colors with the balance a smooth gray patina with clear markings and engraving. The wood is fine with rich color, well defined checkering, some small impressions, and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent. The optics are clear. Additional Information: The additional box of Nitro Express ammunition has been removed from this lot.
