Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with 99% plus original blue finish remaining, showing a very small ding on the left rear of the 28 gauge barrels, and overall only light handling/storage marks. The are a few very minor dings and pressure dents on the stock and all of the checkering is sharp. The engraving is sharp and clear. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good plus with a few minor scuffs and scratches on the exterior, the inside lid label is partially detached and there is some very mild contact wear.
