Rating Definition:

Very fine as custom embellished to its current configuration, retaining 98% factory blue finish with minor handling evidence on the metal. The wood is very good with some chipping along the edges, a few light marks, added recoil pad, and overall sharp checkering. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
