Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 70% wartime arsenal applied blackened oil finish with a few small areas of light pitting. Wood is very fine with defined edges, some light handling marks, and crisp stampings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is very good with slightly cloudy but serviceable optics. Included compass is also good but does not properly function.
