Rating Definition:

Very fine as refurbished/refinished, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with a plum hue to the barrels and minor handling evidence. The wood is also very fine with scattered light dings and scratches, light wear to the recoil pad, and sharp checkering. The case is very good with mild wear and the extra barrel set is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
