Rating Definition:

Very fine. 98% original blue finish remains on the barrels with a few visible surface scratches, light forearm wear, and clear markings. The receiver has 20% original muted case colors and a mostly gray patina on the balance with sharp engraving, bright nitre blue on the safety lever, and small traces of light spotting. The wood is also very fine with attractive grain, mostly crisp checkering, small scattered dings, rich color, and some small chips on the buttplate toe. Mechanically excellent.
