Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels retain 50% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina. The action components retain 60% original case colors. The engraving is crisp. The wood is also fine with a few divots in the forearm checkering, minor dings and scratches and crisp grip checkering overall. Right hammer safety lever is broken, otherwise action functions properly.
