Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 80% plus of the original brown finish and mostly bright German silver with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The wood is very good with a few minor chips and hairline cracks, and moderate flaking of the varnish. Will only hold at full cock if the hammer is rocked back a second time, otherwise mechanically functions fine.
