It has the standard early Winchester markings.

Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refinished (wood). The rifle retains 40% of the original blue finish and has traces of the case colors. The balance has gray and brown patina. There are some minor marks and spots of mild oxidation. The refinished, recheckered wood is very good and has sharp checkering, nice figure, and only minor marks. The action is excellent, and the markings are clear.
