Rating Definition:

Fine. The refinished barrels have 95% of the blue finish remaining, some slight polishing marks, and slightly light markings. The receiver has 70% original case colors with some areas of mottled brown/gray patina, light spotting, and edge wear. The wood is also fine with crisp checkering, small dings throughout, some small chips on the buttplate, and some visible filler near the toe. Mechanically excellent.
