Rating Definition:

Very good plus. Strong brown finish and Damascus patterns remain on the barrel below the stock line, and the upper section has light pitting and mottled gray and brown patina. There are traces of original case colors on the breech and lock exterior and otherwise mostly dark patina. The interior of the lock is bright and has niter blue on some of the small components. The brass and German silver have aged patinas. The stock is very fine and has crisp checkering, smooth finish, and light scrapes and dings. Mechanically excellent.
