Rating Definition:

Excellent. 99% original blue finish remains with some small handling marks and sharp engraving. There is a professionally repaired crack visible on the right side of the wrist from the lock plate to the upper tang. Otherwise, the wood is very good with attractive figure, sharp checkering, and some small scattered dings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with clear optics. Case is very good with some exterior scuffs and dings.
