Rating Definition:

Excellent, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with only minor handling evidence and a small ding at the base of the barrel rib, and 50% original gold finish on the trigger. The extra barrel is also excellent. The wood is very fine with some varnish crazing, a few minor scratches, and sharp checkering. The case is very fine. Mechanically excellent.
