Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 75% plus original blue finish, showing bright edge wear, scattered handling marks, and a small amount of spotting. The muzzle crown has turned gray and shows notable pitting. 60% of the original straw color remains, the rest turned a mixed gray. The grips are fine, slightly oversized with dings and stains. The accessories are very good, with some reproduction parts (the cap for the attaching iron on the revarnished shoulder stock) and mild wear and staining overall. Mechanically excellent.
