Rating Definition:

Fine as refinished with 80% of the matte blue finish on the barrels, small dings, and traces of pitting under the blue, scattered scratches and nicks, and some light oxidation. The receiver has a mostly bright silver/gray patina with sharp engraving, darker patina on the triggers, and fine gold inlays. The refinished wood has worn checkering, numerous small dings, rounded edges, and added recoil pad. Mechanically excellent.
