Rating Definition:

Excellent overall with 99% original blue finish, some light handling marks, crisp checkering, and a few small dings on the wood. Mechanically excellent. Second barrel set is also excellent with some small scratches on the edge of the forearm fitting. Case is excellent with some light storage marks. Boxes are very good with corner and edge wear, and storage marks.
