Rating Definition:

Very good as refinished with 95% of the blue finish on the barrels, scattered handling marks overall, light nicks, and light edge wear at the breech. The receiver and lock plates have 50% of the original case colors, areas of smooth mottled gray patina, and remnants of a thin layer of protective varnish. The wood is very good with crisp checkering and small, carefully filled blemishes on the side of the buttstock. Mechanically excellent.
