Rating Definition:

Fine as rechambered. The barrels retain 98% refinished blue. The remaining surfaces show some age darkened areas mostly on the tangs. The engraving is crisp on the bright polished receiver. The refinished wood is also fine showing a hairline crack on the forearm, scattered minor handling marks and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The scope has clear optics. The case is very fine with minimal wear.
