Rating Definition:

Fine, retains mostly bright surfaces with some patches of light pitting, attractive golden aged patina on the brass flash pan, and sharp edges and markings in the metal. Stock is also fine as re-oiled with defined edges, some light scratches, a small chip on the left of the forend, a small crack ahead of the rear lock screw, and clear inspection stampings. Mechanically excellent.
