Rating Definition:

Excellent. The barrels retain 97% plus original blue finish with loss at the muzzles. The action retains 95% original case colors. The freshened wood is very fine with a very small surface chip missing near the upper tang, a few minor handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
