Rating Definition:

Very good with mostly bright original gold inlays, mottled gray and brown patina on the balance, light twist patterns on the barrels, moderate oxidation mainly at the breech and forward section of the barrels as well as the hammers, and general mild overall wear from use and age. The stock is fair and has distinct checkering on the wrist, general scratches and dings, minor checks, and a few spots of minor flaking. Mechanically fine.
