Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished. The barrels show 95% of the blue finish, with some thinning, scattered pitting under the finish, and mild handling marks. Traces of original case colors are present on the frame with the remainder a silver patina. The stock is good, with some thin cracks on the left side of the buttstock, reapplied varnish and scattered dents and scuffs. Mechanically very good.
