Frontier Firearms from the Lifetime Collection of Larry Ness

Good. Metal with a thick brown patina showing moderate oxidation, some surface roughness and moderate pitting around the breech area. Lock functional, smooth bore heavily pitted and oxidized. Stock with moderate wear to the faux finish and with some significant wood loss around the top edge of the lock and bolster, apparently from percussion burn out. Otherwise stock with scattered bumps, dings and handling marks, a couple of old grain cracks in the forend and the toe and some wear to the checkering at the wrist.

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.
