Rating Definition:

Very fine overall, retaining 95% plus refurbished blue finish with the majority of the loss on the trigger guard which also shows some light oxidation, 50% original case colors with the balance an attractive silver patina, minor handling evidence, a few dings and scratches in the wood, and mostly sharp checkering on the stock and forend. The extra barrel set retains 99% of its original finish. Mechanically excellent.
