Rating Definition:

Fine. 80% original blue finish remains on the barrels with some visible thinning, light surface scratches, and light spotting. The receiver and locks have 40% original, slightly muted case colors with some areas of mild gray/brown patina. The wood is also fine with well-defined, mostly crisp checkering, some scattered dings, and freshened varnish on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
