Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels retain 95% plus of the period refurbished blue finish with some loss at the muzzle and some finished over blemishes/pitting heavier at the breech. The action retains 40% of the casehardened finish. The engraving is crisp. The refinished wood is also fine with some minor handling marks and scattered blemishes in the recut checkering. Mechanically excellent.
