Rating Definition:

Fine. The period refinished barrels have 75% of the blue finish with clear markings, spotting, small scratches, and traces of light pitting. The receiver has a mostly gray patina with traces of original case colors in the more protected areas, light oxidation, and handling marks overall. The wood is fine with worn checkering and small dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
