Frontier Firearms from the Lifetime Collection of Larry Ness

Good. Metal with a moderately oxidized brown patina with some traces of blue on the barrel, primarily under the forend where it was protected. Lock with some moderate surface roughness and pitting with weak markings. Mechanically functional, but the double set triggers need adjustment. Hammer nose is crude and possibly repaired or replaced. Bore good, with strong rifling and scattered pitting. Wood with moderate wear, bumps, dings and mars. Butt sanded with the checkering at the wrist very weak.

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.
