Rating Definition:

Fine. 95% plus restored blue finish remains on the barrels with some traces of edge wear, light handling marks overall, and two small carefully filled holes on the underside of the rib where a sling swivel was removed. The receiver has 50% original case colors with attractive silver/gray patina around the edges, and fine, crisp engraving. The wood is also very fine with attractive grain and figure, small dings, well-defined checkering, and a small filled hole along the toe line. Mechanically excellent.
