Good overall. Bores very good, showing moderate oxidation and frosting and would likely clean to better. Barrels with some of their faded browned Damascus patterned finish and moderate wear and loss. Barrels with a few spots of light surface rust as well. Receiver and locks with a moderately oxidized and mottled silvery gray patina with some minute traces of case colors in the protected areas. Action is mechanical functional, with tight lock up. Stock with moderate wear, and a broken wrist with an old, somewhat crude nailed repair. Forend with some splintered loss along the upper edge on the reverse and with a replaced forend tip insert.

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.
