Rating Definition:

Fine as barrels professionally sleeved and refinished with 95% plus blue finish remaining, clear markings, some small dings, and traces of light edge wear. The receiver has an overall silver/gray patina with clear markings, fine engraving, and some light spotting. The wood is also fine with relatively crisp checkering, small repaired break on the inside of the forearm, and handling marks overall. Mechanically excellent.
