Rating Definition:

Excellent as professionally embellished, retains 98% plus blue finish and gold inlay with a few scattered light handling marks, mainly on the bottom of the barrel. The wood is very fine with some scattered light handling marks, a couple areas showing light polish over a few natural blemishes in the wood grain, and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
