Rating Definition:

Very fine. 95% plus original blue finish remains on the barrels with some small nicks and scratches, and some light spotting around the muzzles. The receiver has remnants of a yellowing coat of protective varnish with sharp engraving, and attractive coin gray finish. The wood is fine with numerous small dings and scratches, and crisp checkering. Extra barrel is also very fine with 95% plus original blue finish, some small bright spots, and light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. Scopes are very good with some dings and scratches, and clear optics. Case is good with scuffs and scratches on the exterior, patina on the metal fittings, and some tears and worn spots on the interior lining.
