Rating Definition:

Fine as professionally refurbished with softened matting on the quarter rib, and some small traces of light pitting under the blue. The receiver is a mostly bright silver patina with evidence of cleaning, some darker spotting, reblued bottom plate and trigger guard, and well defined engraving. The forend and trigger guard are slightly loose. The wood is also fine with freshened checkering and rubbed oil finish, small scattered dings, and some small gaps at some of the junctions. Mechanically excellent.
