Belt Auction

is there an official scoring guide to firearm condition?

I see local adds and auction adds on gunbroker that have info like "condition 99% or 80%" ect. ect. but is this just the sellers interpretation as to the condition or is there actually a scoring chart as far as condition?

1. I guess the seller rates it. I think its based on condition of the blueing, the bore, pitting, dings,cracks, or scratches on the stock ect.
2. The leading resource for firearms pricing and grading is the Blue Book of Gun Values. The front of the book has a photo grading section that has high-res pictures of different firearms in various conditions based on percentage of original finish remaining. Guns can be compared to the pictures to establish condition.
