Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored, with 98% blue, showing some light spotting on the bolt and hammer, bright niter blue on the small parts, and mild handling marks overall. The grips are fine, with some minor dings and flat spots. The stock is fine, with a crack near the mouth and two small screwholes added on the underside, along with some dents and dark spots. Mechanically functions, although breechbolt return spring is weak.
