Rating Definition:

Excellent. The rifle retains 90% plus bright original blue finish with an area of wear on the takedown ring and magazine tube. The hammer and lever retain 60% original case colors and the buttplate has a smooth gray patina with some minor pitting. The wood is very fine with a series of scratches on the forearm (left side), and a few shallow dents on left side of wrist. Mechanically excellent.
