Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrels have 95% refinished blue with scattered small dings, clearly legible markings, and some light spotting around the muzzles. The action and locks have 75% original faded case colors with silvering on the edges and high points, and a dove gray patina on the balance. The varnished wood is good with visible crazing, cracking, and chipping of the varnish, mildly worn checkering, and scattered small dings. Mechanically excellent.
