Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine as custom upgraded/built to current configuration, retaining 99% blue and gold finishes with minor handling marks, slight rubbing at the muzzles, light discoloration/oxidation under the top rib, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Other than some oxidation under the top rib, the extra barrel set is also very fine. The case is excellent. Mechanically excellent.
