NIB—New in Box
This category can sometimes be misleading. It means that the
firearm is in its original factory carton with all of the appropriate
papers. It also means the firearm is new; that it has not been fired
and has no wear. This classification brings a substantial premium
for both the collector and shooter.
Excellent
Collector quality firearms in this condition are highly desirable.
The firearm must be in at least 98 percent condition with respect
to blue wear, stock or grip finish, and bore. The firearm must also
be in 100 percent original factory condition without refinishing,
repair, alterations or additions of any kind. Sights must be factory
original as well. This grading classification includes both modern
and antique (manufactured prior to 1898) firearms.
Very Good
Firearms in this category are also sought after both by the
collector and shooter. Modern firearms must be in working order
and retain approximately 92 percent original metal and wood
finish. It must be 100 percent factory original, but may have some
small repairs, alterations, or non-factory additions. No refinishing
is permitted in this category. Antique firearms must have 80
percent original finish with no repairs.
Good
Modern firearms in this category may not be considered to be
as collectable as the previous grades, but antique firearms are
considered desirable. Modern firearms must retain at least 80
percent metal and wood finish, but may display evidence of old
refinishing. Small repairs, alterations, or non-factory additions are
sometimes encountered in this class. Factory replacement parts
are permitted. The overall working condition of the firearm must
be good as well as safe. The bore may exhibit wear or some
corrosion, especially in antique arms. Antique firearms may be
included in this category if their metal and wood finish is at least
50 percent original factory finish.
Fair
Firearms in this category should be in satisfactory working
order and safe to shoot. The overall metal and wood finish on the
modern firearm must be at least 30 percent and antique firearms
must have at least some original finish or old re-finish remaining.
Repairs, alterations, nonfactory additions, and recent refinishing
would all place a firearm in this classification. However, the
modern firearm must be in working condition, while the antique
firearm may not function. In either case the firearm must be
considered safe to fire if in a working state.
Poor
Neither collectors nor shooters are likely to exhibit much
interest in firearms in this condition. Modern firearms are likely
to retain little metal or wood finish. Pitting and rust will be seen
in firearms in this category. Modern firearms may not be in
working order and may not be safe to shoot. Repairs and
refinishing would be necessary to restore the firearm to safe
working order. Antique firearms will have no finish and will not
function. In the case of modern firearms their principal value lies
in spare parts. On the other hand, antique firearms in this
condition may be used as “wall hangers” or as an example of an
extremely rare variation or have some kind of historical
significance.
