Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally refinished with 98% of the blue remaining, some small visible dings on the barrels, light handling marks overall, and crisp markings. The wood is also very fine with sharp recut checkering, all most all of the freshened finish, some small chips visible along the forearm edges, and some small dings on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
