Rating Definition:

Very fine overall as upgraded by Francotte, retaining 99% partially refurbished (forend latch) blue and original case colored finishes with minor handling evidence, a few small dings and scratches in the wood, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The extra barrels are also excellent. The case is very good. Mechanically excellent.
