Rating Definition:

Very good. The rifle retains traces of the original blue finish with a mottled brown patina and scattered scratches and dings. The casehardened hammer and lever have a brown patina. The markings are clear. The brass elevator has a smooth dark patina. The revarnished wood is good some minor scattered scratches and dings. Mechanically fine.
