Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have a mostly brown/gray patina with areas of spotting, some light dings, and some visible surface pitting. The markings are clear and legible and the Damascus pattern is strong. The receiver and lock plates have a mostly smooth gray patina with some light spotting, crisp engraving, and traces of original case colors in the protected areas. The wood is fine with well-defined checkering, numerous dings and pressure dents overall, and a hairline crack just to the right of the triggers. Mechanically excellent. Case is fair as re-covered with scuffs and dings throughout.
