Arms, Armor & Militaria Online

Good. Good bore with strong rifling, showing some scattered pitting and oxidation. Metal with much of the nickel finish with a dull milky patina and showing a moderate amount of loss due to flaking and wear, particularly along the high edges, contact points and at the muzzle. The areas with finish loss show a moderately oxidized brown patina and there is a moderate amount of freckled oxidation present, mostly on the barre and web. Markings remain legible. Mechanically functional, although the extractor star is a little sluggish when it retracts into the ejector tube, suggesting binding due to old grease or dirt. Grips very good with a yellowish age patina and showing some minor dings and some minute chipping to the surfaces.

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.
