Rating Definition:

Fine. 85% blue refinish remains on the barrels with a slight plum cast, small scattered scratches, and some mild edge wear. The receiver has 75% original slightly muted case colors with more vibrant colors visible in the protected areas, some light spotting, and mild silvering along the edges. The refinished wood is also fine with a visible very slight repaired break at the heel, moderately worn checkering, and small dings throughout. Mechanically excellent.
