Rating Definition:

Very fine. 97% arsenal parkerized finish remains with mostly light handling marks and some scattered dings and edge wear. The stock is fine as repaired with a visible repaired section to the right of the receiver ring, small scattered dings, some flaking varnish on the handguard, and an aged patina on the inscribed plaque. Mechanically excellent.
