Rating Definition:Very fine, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, bright edge wear and scattered handling marks. The receiver retains 30% original blue with a coat of protective varnish applied overall. The stock is excellent, with mild scratches in the mostly intact original varnish, yellow spotting on the buttstock, a few light dents overall and an attractive grain pattern. Mechanically excellent.
