Rating Definition:

Fine. The refinished barrels have 65% of the thinning blue finish, some traces of light pitting, surface scratches, and mild edge wear. The receiver engraving is sharp with some mild spotting and an overall smooth gray patina. The forearm is chipped along the upper left edge, and the buttstock has small dents throughout, surface scratches, sharp checkering, and some minor chips on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
