Rating Definition:

Very fine. 80% original blue finish remains with some scattered light scratches and handling marks on the barrels. The receiver has 90% dark case colors with some light edge wear, and sharp engraving. The trigger guard has 50% blue and the end of the tang is slightly irregular. The wood is also very fine with crisp checkering and some small dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with exterior scuffs and storage marks.
