Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 95% original blue finish and 90% original vivid case colors with limited handling marks, a few tiny spots of oxidation behind the front sight, some light muzzle wear, and an attractive patina on the collection tag. Wood is excellent, retaining most of the original varnish with scattered light dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent. Bayonet is fine with 40% of the original blue thinning to brown on the balance of the metal grip and some light pitting. Leather scabbard is also fine.
