Rating Definition:

Very fine as exquisitely custom embellished. 90% plus blue finish remains with some visible edge wear and gray patina on either side of the muzzle, light handling marks, sharp engraving and complete gold inlays. The stock is fine with numerous small dings and pressure marks and well defined checkering. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent with clear optics.
