Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels retain 95% plus refinished blue showing some thinning. Patterns of case colors (strongest around the triggers) remain. The engraving is crisp. Hairline grain cracks are visible on the trigger guard. The wood is very fine showing scattered handling evidence and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The scope has clear optics. The case is excellent.
