Rating Definition:

Very fine. 95% original blue finish remains on the barrels with some small dings and surface scratches, sharp markings, and some forearm marks. The receiver has 40% original muted case colors with a dark gray patina on the balance, sharp engraving, and some light handling marks. The refinished wood is fine with crisp well defined checkering, small scattered dings, refinished buttplate, and some adhesive under the buttplate edges. Mechanically excellent.
