Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine, with 75% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, bright edge wear, mild spotting and light handling marks. The wood is very fine, with some opening of the grain on the comb, chips around the recoil bolt and edges, and mild dents. The optics are a bit hazy, with mild wear on the exterior. The accessories show mild wear and handling. Mechanically excellent.
