Rating Definition:

Very good plus. 40% of the faded original blue finish and traces of the faded case colors remain. The balance has gray and brown patina. There are some scattered marks and scratches and some light spotting. The wood is fine as refinished and repaired. There is a small filled section on the right side of the butt near the toe, mostly sharp checkering, light scratches, and a few chips at the edges. The action functions fine, and the markings are legible.
