Rating Definition:

Excellent. 99% original deep blue finish remains with sharp engraving, complete gold inlays, and some light handling marks. The receiver has very sharp engraving, exceptionally detailed game scene, and attractive subdued case colors. The wood is attractively figured with dark mineral lines, sharp checkering, and a few very small dings. Mechanically excellent. The scope is excellent with clear optics.
