Rating Definition:

Very fine. The carbine retains 80% bright original high polish blue finish with the balance a mottled gray patina. There is a series of scratches on the left side of the frame. The wood is also very fine with a barely noticeable hairline crack on the forearm, missing sliver of wood near the upper tang and some scattered minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
