Rating Definition:

Very good. The rifle retains 70% plus of the original blue finish on the barrel assembly with thinning area of mottled brown patina on the barrel and magazine and a silver gray patina on the frame. The casehardened lever and hammer have a smooth gray patina. The forend cap and buttplate have brown speckling. The markings are clear. The reoiled highly figured wood is very good with some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
