Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine with attractive bright surfaces overall, some scattered areas of very light freckling, and sharp edges and markings in the metal. Stock is very fine with some light scratches and dents, a few light scuffs, a few minor chips in the ramrod channel, and attractive grain with defined edges. Mechanically excellent.
