Rating Definition:

Very good, retaining 80% plus original blue with much of the loss near the breeches, silver patina on the locks and action with some colors in the protected areas, and mild handling evidence. The wood is also very good with worn checkering on the forend, a well repaired chip at the toe, and crisp carving. Mechanically excellent.
