Rating Definition:

Fine with 30% original blue finish and light oxidation/pitting on the barrel, 25% generally faint case colors, some more vibrant case colors in protected areas, strike mark on the top of the bright breechblock, light handling and storage marks, and crisp engraving. Other than a hairline crack in the left side of the grip, the wood is fine and has mostly crisp checkering, some pressure marks and scratches, and smooth finish. Mechanically excellent. The case and accessories are very good with mild storage wear.
