Rating Definition:

Very fine as refinished and assembled from original parts. The blued components have 50% thin blue finish and gray patina along with some light pitting. Most of the niter blue finish on the small components remains. The saddle ring bar is bright. The hammer has mottled gray and brown patina and some light pitting. 70% of the case colors remain. The wood is very fine with minor storage wear and crisp cartouches. Mechanically excellent.
