Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% plus original blue and coin finishes with limited handling evidence. There are tiny cracks on either side at the rear of the action, otherwise the wood is very fine with a few minor marks and sharp checkering. The case is fine with minor handling/storage marks. Mechanically excellent.
