Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have 95% professionally refinished blue with traces of light pitting visible under the finish and some small scattered surface scratches. The action and locks have an attractive gray patina with traces of original case colors in the protected areas and sharp detailed engraving. The wood is also fine with scattered small dings, and restored rubbed oil finish. Mechanically excellent.
