Rating Definition:

Very fine with 80% original blue overall, small dings around the muzzle, light edge wear, slide retraction marks visible on the magazine tube, well defined engraving, thinning to a light gray patina on the receiver edges, and artificial brown patina on the trigger guard. The partially refinished buttstock is fine with scattered small dings throughout, crisp recut checkering visible in the professionally repaired wrist, attractive grain, and brown patina visible on the buttplate heel. The refinished forend has recut checkering. Mechanically excellent.
