Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have been refinished with 85% of the applied thin brown remaining, strong Damascus pattern, some scattered pitting, and mostly legible rib markings. The receiver and locks have a mix of gray and mottled brown patina with clear markings and fine engraving. The wood is also fine with dings throughout, well defined checkering, and rich color. Mechanically very good.
