Rating Definition:

Very good with 90% original blue finish on the barrels, showing edge wear and gray/brown patina around the muzzles, and clear markings. The receiver and locks have crisp, detailed, engraving with light handling marks mostly around the trigger. The wood is also very good with some evidence of light sanding, small patch of well blended filler on the right side of the buttstock, small dings and marks, and mostly crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The extra barrel sets are very good with both sets displaying some muzzle wear (more prominent on the .410 set), mild handling marks and small dings on the forearms. The case is good with exterior scuffs and scratches, visibly worn corners, patina on the fittings, and interior wear and staining.
