Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels have 85% original brown finish with strong Damascus patterns, some dings around the muzzles and along the rib edge, clear rib markings, some light spotting, and a slight dent near the muzzle on the right barrel. The receiver has 70% original muted case colors (stronger in protected areas), sharp, detailed engraving, and some light spotting and darker patina on the trigger guard. The wood is also very fine with well defined, crisp checkering, small dings throughout, and some light chipping on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
