Rating Definition:

Very fine. 95% plus original blue finish remains on the barrels with some small dings around the muzzles, light handling marks, and some small forearm marks. The receiver and locks have 75% original muted case colors, crisp engraving, and an attractive gray patina on the balance. The refinished, lengthened wood is fine with crisp, well-defined checkering and some small scratches and dings. Mechanically excellent.
