Rating Definition:

Very good, showing a mix of brown and grey patina on the barrels, attractive grey coloration on the locks and action, and mild handling evidence with the lever retaining screw heavily damaged, but functional. The wood is also very good with some mild dings and scratches, high edge wear, and worn but well-defined checkering. The extra barrel set is very good. Mechanically excellent.
