Rating Definition:

Very good. 40% plus original blue finish remains with areas of edge wear, numerous scratches and scrapes, crisp markings, and some mild spotting. The wood is very good with recut checkering, attractive figure, some visible surface cracks, numerous dings and scratches, and a small crack at the left side of the grip end. Mechanically excellent. Case is poor with large end mostly detached, heavy scuffs and scratches, loose stitching, and age cracking. The extra barrel has had the magazine tube refinished with areas of edge wear, spotting and takedown marks.
