Rating Definition:

Fine with 40% of the period refinished blue on the barrels, some small dings, visible Damascus pattern, and areas of mild edge wear. The action and locks have a mostly gray patina with traces of original case colors in the protected areas, clear markings and distinct engraving. The refinished wood is fine with visibly replaced sections of wood directly behind the fences, well defined checkering, and small dings throughout. Mechanically excellent. Case is good with heavy scuffing on the exterior, interior staining, and broken carry handle.
