Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains 60% thinning blue finish with some smooth brown patina, edge wear and some minor spotting. The action retains 75% of the original case colors with some fading to brown, and the lever and buttplate are a mix of original case colors and smooth dark brown patina. The wood is good overall. The thumb rest has been repaired, and there are a couple of couple of small minor cracks and a couple gouges on the forearm at the action and a few minor cracks on the wrist and the left side at the action. Overall there are some scattered minor nicks and scratches, and the checkering is crisp. The markings are clear. The Meister action is fine, and considered one the best German falling block actions.
