Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored with 95% of the blue finish, scattered light pitting under the blue, and some small dings on the trigger guard. The receiver has a smooth mostly gray patina with crisp engraving, and light spotting. The wood is also very fine with crisp freshened checkering, attractive grain, and a few scattered small dings. Mechanically excellent.
