Rating Definition:

Fine. 75% original thinning blue finish remains on the barrels with some high point and edge wear, clear markings, and scattered surface scratches and dings. 55% original case colors on the receiver and side plates with a smooth mostly gray patina on the balance, light spotting and handling marks throughout. The wood has small dings and dents throughout, some slightly smoothed checkering, and age cracks on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
