Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine as professionally embellished with 98% factory quality blue finish on the barrels, some small dings on the rib, light rib markings, and mild handling marks. The receiver has sharp, detailed engraving and some mild patina on the trigger. The wood is very fine with attractive color and figure, sharp checkering, and a few scattered, small dings. Mechanically excellent.
