Rating Definition:

Very fine overall. The 28 gauge barrel set retains 98% of the reapplied blue finish with minor pitting mostly on the rib. The other two barrel sets retain 99% plus original blue finish with minimal handling evidence. The three forearms are excellent showing minimal handling marks and crisp checkering. There are a couple tiny stress cracks at the rear of the 410 bore forearm. The action shows minimal handling evidence and a crisp engraving. The buttstock is fine showing a series of dings on the underside, otherwise some minor handing marks and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
