Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 80% plus original blue finish and 90% original nitre blue with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina with some light surface pitting and brown patina on the front strap. The grips are fine with minor dings and scratches scattered throughout and traces of the original red paint remaining in the brands. Mechanically excellent. The stock is fine with some minor dings and scratches scattered throughout and about half the original blue on the attaching iron. The harness is fine with the magazine pouch stud removed some mild wear and cracking.
