Rating Definition:

Very good plus with the metal surfaces exhibiting a balance between a mottled brown and mottled silver patina. The brass has a smooth aged patina with some of the engraving beginning to fade. The stock is very fine with some minor handling marks and repairs most prominent at the wrist. Mechanically fine.
