Rating Definition:Very good as professionally refinished. The rifle retains 95% of the blue with and area of surface rust just behind the front sight on the barrel and some overall light handling marks. The engraving is crisp, clear and well executed. There are two small areas of surface rust on the right side of the frame and an extremely small area near the moose inlay on the left side. The wood is excellent with some minor handling marks throughout. Case is excellent with some handling marks.
