Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 98% original blue and coin finishes with a few light handling marks and some minor discoloration in the coin finish. The wood is very fine with some dings and scratches, slight loss of varnish around the cheekpiece and toe, and sharp checkering. The scope has clear optics. The extra barrel sets are all very fine. Mechanically excellent.
