Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good as refurbished. Bores are Very Bright with crisp rifling throughout. The blued finish to the triggerguard is flaking over the wrist with patina forming within the losses. Barrels show some light scratches to the flanks at the breech and some thinning along the muzzles. Matting to the rear sight mount shows some inconsistency suggesting it may have been redone at some point. Engraving over the remainder of the metal components retains its crispness. Frame case colors are particularly bright to the exterior with the inner frame displaying more muted colors. Stock shows some handling wear including some skips and smoothening of the checkering to the wrist and forend. The left forend has been repaired with a wood splice near the tip. Finish on the safety has been worn down to a silver sheen. The butt displays a fine crack forming to a knot on the right side with a further knot just behind the wrist having been reinforced with wood fill. Lockup is tight with the locking lever resting just right of center. Case shows some signs of cracking to the fastening straps with scattered light scuffs and mars. Some stains to the canvas cover.
