Rating Definition:

Fine, showing a period refinished brown twist finish on the barrels, attractive smooth silver patina on the action, loose of gold wash on the triggers, and light overall handling evidence. There is a tiny crack off the left lockplate, otherwise the refinished wood is fine with a few light dings and scratches and crisp carving. Mechanically excellent.
