Rating Definition:

Very good as refurbished. The sleeved barrels retain 95% blue finish with a ding and finish loss on the muzzle end of the left barrel, a couple of minor gouges on the underside in the same area and some scattered minor spotting. The action and forearm hardware have a smooth gray patina. The wood is good overall with a large crudely repaired break on the toe which extends to the sling eye. Otherwise, there are some scattered minor dents and dings, and distinct checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically very good.
