Rating Definition:

Good, with traces of the original finish in protected areas, scattered silvering, brown and grey patinas, some minor pitting, some mild freckling, and light handling marks. The stock is very good as sanded and re-oiled with an epoxy repaired crack at the tang, a chip missing from the front right tip of the forend, and scattered minor dents and handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
