Rating Definition:

Very fine. The barrels have 85% thinning original twist finish with some scattered light spotting, scratches, and dings on the rib. The action and locks have 40% original vibrant case colors with a mottled brown/gray patina on the balance, well defined engraving, and a mostly gray patina on the trigger guard. The wood is fine with a freshened coat of varnish, small dings, and some larger scratches on the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
