Rating Definition:

Very fine as refurbished. The barrels have 99% blue finish with crisp markings, some small scattered dings, and softened matting on the rib. The action and locks have 97% plus vibrant case colors, upper tang and lock tails standing a bit proud to the wood, some very light silvering on the edges, and slightly softened engraving. The wood is also very fine with intense dark figure, small scattered dings, and slightly oversized grip cap. Mechanically excellent.
