Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel, action and furniture each respectively retain 60% original finish. The cylinder retains 30% original faded casehardened finish with a small shallow patch of corrosion marking. The stock is also fine with a very attractive figure pattern, crisp checkering, and only occasional scattered age related storage and handling marks and blemishes. Mechanically excellent. The case is very good with some age wear and staining to the lining.
