Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 80% original blue finish with a mix smooth plum and brown patinas on the balance. There are a couple spots of minor pitting on the left side of the receiver. 70% original case colors remain on the buttplate and hammer. The wood is also very fine showing a patch of chipping near the toe and some minor scratches. Mechanically excellent. A very fine early production flat side Model 1895 that will make a great addition to any Winchester collection.
