Rating Definition:

Very good. The barrel retains 30% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina on the balance. The action has faded to a mixed gray patina. The wood is very good with a couple stress lines at the receiver, sight notch at comb tip, and a number of minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
