This one demonstrates how difficult it is to evaluate the finish of old guns. When we describe how much finish remains, it is generally the % of original finish or % of re-finish. A gun may have thin dull bluing over much of the surface, but it left the factory with a dark blue on highly polished steel; one person might call that "60% bluing" while another might call it "0% original finish, thin bluing over all, no case color remains".
