Rating Definition:

Fine with 95% of the refinished blue, small traces of edge wear, light markings, visible pitting under the blue, and some small surface scratches. The receiver has 50% original case colors with crisp engraving, light spotting, and a gray patina on the balance. The refinished wood is also fine with sharp freshened checkering, freshened varnish finish, attractive grain, and small dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
