Rating Definition:

Good. The barrels have 80% refinished blue with some small patches of light pitting, mild edge wear, and small dings and scratches. The locks and receiver have an applied blue finish with well-defined engraving, and a gray patina on the balance. The wood is fair with chipping along the forearm edges and heavy dents and dings on the buttstock. The forearm has been repaired with an internal patch present. The horn on the forearm lever is cracked. Mechanically very good.
