Mounted with a checkered forearm and pistol grip stock with contrasting caps, a sling swivel stud, and lightly engraved trapdoor buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Fine as refinished, retains 99% blue finish and 90% case colors with the balance a smooth grey patina, some minor dings, a few patches of light surface pitting, and crisp recut engraving. The refinished wood is also fine with some scattered minor dings and scratches, a few minor repairs including a repaired crack on the left side of the wrist, and mostly crisp checkering. The safety does not function as it should, otherwise mechanically fine.
