Rating Definition:

Very good, retaining 90% original blue on the barrel with some areas of thinning, attractive silver patina on the action and locks with some faded case colors in the protected areas, and light handling evidence. There is a hairline crack at the toe, otherwise the wood is very fine with sharp checkering and minor marks. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
