Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 99% blue on the professionally shortened barrels, silver patina on the action with some flashes of case colors in the protected areas and light general handling evidence. The wood is fine with numerous scattered dings and scratches, discolored inscription oval, and well-defined checkering. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
