Very Good. Bore is Very Dark with patina, some scattered oxidation and pitting throughout. The octagonal barrel's edges have been rounded over by aggressive cleaning, with further rounding to the metal components over the rear frame. Hammer is lightly pitted all over, with further pitting visible on the forcing cone and inside the topstrap. Metalwork shows scattered mars overall, and a dark gray to brown patina overall. The grips show handling wear, mars, and some chips on the butt. Grips leave gaps at the edges of the metalwork. Action fails to consistently index from chamber to chamber, and fails to fully lock the hammer to the rear.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition. Condition reports prepared by Freeman's staff are provided as a convenience and may be requested from the Department prior to bidding.

The absence of a posted condition report on the Freeman's website or in our catalogues should not be interpreted as commentary on an item's condition. Prospective buyers are responsible for inspecting a lot or sending their agent or conservator to inspect the lot on their behalf, and for ensuring that they have requested, received and understood any condition report provided by Freeman's.
