Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 97% original blue and 85% original case colors. Some mild handling evidence on the metal, a few light marks in the lightly sanded, refinished wood, and sharp stock checkering. The chambers have been lengthened. Mechanically needs work as right shotgun barrel will not fire.
