Rating Definition:

Very fine as professionally restored with 99% of the blue and vibrant casehardened finish remaining. Displaying mostly light handling marks, crisp markings, and some small surface scratches. The wood has sharp re-cut checkering, attractive rich color, a small chip missing from the buttplate toe, and some small scattered dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
