Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have an overall smooth brown patina with strong, visible Damascus pattern, clear markings, some small dings on the rib edges, and some light forearm wear. The receiver is a smooth mottled brown/gray with crisp markings, and some light spotting. The wood is also fine with well defined slightly worn checkering, scattered small dings, and tight fit. Mechanically excellent.
