Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 97% plus parkerization overall, showing some minor handling marks and edge wear overall, and a bit of brown patina on the buttstock hinges. The wood is also excellent, with crisp original Ordnance cartouche on the right side of the grip, and minor scattered storage dings overall. Some light edge wear is present on the excellent original leather cheekpiece. Mechanically excellent.
