Rating Definition:

Fine. The barrel retains 80% of the original blue finish with scattered scratches and dings, and minor muzzle wear. The receiver retains 70% of the blue finish with a spot of cold blue visible on left forward side, scattered scratches and dings, minor brown speckling, and a smooth silver patina on the underside. The markings are clear. The wood is also fine with scattered scratches, dings, and pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
