Rating Definition:

Very good, the barrels retain 95% original blue finish and 40% original blue on the action, otherwise a smooth gray patina with scattered handling marks, and crisp engraving. Wood is fine with scattered dings and scratches, a hairline stress crack on the forearm right side, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
