Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 85% of the original blue finish, showing some bright rubbing on the underside of the barrel, mild edge wear and scattered handling marks. 70% of the original niter blue is present on the small parts, with a gray tone to the hammer and some light spotting on the bolt. The grips are excellent with some minor chips along the top and crisp checkering. The stock is very fine, with a few minor dings. Mechanically excellent.
