Rating Definition:

Fine as refinished. The barrels have 70% reblued finish with light barrel markings, mild spotting, some gray patina, and some light pitting under the blue. The action and locks have shadows of original case colors with a mostly gray patina on the balance, strong nitre blue on the safeties, and some spotting. The wood is good with worn checkering and dings and scratches throughout. Case is very good with storage marks.
