Rating Definition:

Fine as partially (barrels, trigger guard, and floorplate) refinished. 95% blue finish remains with some small traces of light surface pitting, slightly light barrel markings, and areas of mild spotting. The action has a mottled gray/brown patina with some darker spotting and scratches. The wood is good with some small gaps at the receiver junction, well-defined checkering, small dings and scratches, and visible hairline cracks on the left side of the wrist. Mechanically very good, though the automatic safety may need some adjustment.
