Rating Definition:

Fine. 75% original blue finish remains with some scattered small nicks and scratches, forearm wear, and areas of thin gray patina on the underside of the barrels. The receiver has an overall silver/gray patina with faint traces of original case colors, sharp engraving, and some light spotting. The wood is also fine with well defined checkering lightly refreshed on the forend, dark patina on the silver initial oval, and small dings and pressure marks throughout. Mechanically excellent.
