Rating Definition:

Fine as professionally restored. 98% of the blue finish remains on the barrels with some light surface scratches and small handling marks. The receiver shows areas of pitting under the refinished case colors, well-defined engraving, and some mild edge wear. The wood is also fine with scattered dings and crisp freshened checkering. Mechanically excellent.
