Rating Definition:

Fine. Overall the musket has a smooth crisp dark brown patina with some minor spotting. The brass has a fine aged patina. There is a patch of minor gashes on the left side of the forearm, otherwise the stock is fine with some minor dings and scratches. The bayonet is good with a smooth dark brown patina with some minor spotting. The leather scabbard is fair with some missing stitches and a broken tip.
