Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished with 95% plus blue finish remaining on the barrels with evidence of a removed solid rib along the top of the barrel, with the added vent rib and mild handling marks. The receiver has an overall gray patina with some darker spotting, sharp engraving, small dings. The wood is fair as professionally repaired at the wrist and refinished with four pieces of wood carefully spliced in at the wrist, well-defined checkering, added recoil pad. Mechanically excellent.
