Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with only some minor handling evidence. The wood is very fine with slightly ill-fitting forend seems, a few minor dings and scratches, and sharp checkering. The scope optics are sharp. The case is very good. The extra barrel set and scope are excellent. Mechanically excellent.
