Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have an overall mottled gray/brown patina with strong Damascus patterning, areas of spotting and oxidation, and some surface pitting. The receiver and locks have an overall gray patina with distinct engraving, some light spotting, and areas of darker oxidation. The wood is also fine with well defined checkering, small dings throughout and some small cracks at the buttplate heel. Mechanically very good.
