Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have an overall attractive gray patina with clearly visible Damascus pattern, small nicks and dings, and clear markings. The receiver and locks have 20% original muted case colors with the balance a smooth gray patina with traces of light spotting. The wood is also fine with well-defined checkering, small dings throughout, and a chip at the buttplate toe. Mechanically excellent.
