Rating Definition:

Exceptionally fine overall as Angelo Bee embellished with 99% bright factory quality blue finish, scattered light handling marks, sharp engraving, and complete gold inlays. The upgraded wood is in equal condition with bold, dark figure, crisp checkering, and just a few small scattered dings. Mechanically excellent.
