Rating Definition:

Fine as refinished with 90% of the blue finish, some mild edge wear, light rib markings, and handling marks overall. The receiver has 30% original case colors with a smooth gray patina on the balance and well defined engraving. The wood is also fine with moderately worn checkering, small dings throughout, and added buttplate. Mechanically excellent. Case is fair with scuffs and storage marks throughout, broken handle, age cracking, small tears, and staining.
