Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes, minor oil discoloration on areas of the coin, and minor handling evidence. There is a small chip on the left side of the forend at the shoe, otherwise the wood is very fine with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. The case is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
