Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored, retaining 99% blue on the barrels with strong traces on the trigger guard and underside of the action. The case colors on the action have mostly turned a silver patina but are still visible on the watertable. The wood is very good with a few chips on the edges and some repairs and chipping on the forearm and well-defined carving and checkering. The case and accessories are excellent. Mechanically excellent.
