Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine. 99% original, deep, polished blue remains on the barrels with some small surface scratches and light handling marks. The case colors are vibrant and the engraving crisp with some light silvering around the edges. The upgraded replacement wood is very fine with attractive color, grain, and figure; sharp checkering, and some small scattered dings. Mechanically excellent. Case is very good with some visible storage wear and some small dings on the oak trim.
