Rating Definition:

Fine. The professionally refinished barrels have 98% of the polished deep blue finish with some light edge wear, slightly light markings, and some traces of light pitting under the forearm. The receiver and locks have an overall bright patina with well-defined engraving and markings and mild handling marks overall. The wood is also fine with well-defined checkering, small bruises and dings, and some small chips around the lower tang. Mechanically very good.
