Good. Apparently shortened and modified during the period. Missing buttplate. Metal with no finish and a moderately oxidized brown patina with some scattered pitting that is more moderate around the breech and bolster area. Bore fair, dark, dirty and moderately pitted. Stock with numerous scattered bumps, dings and mars and a few small cracks and an upper pin replaced with an old nail. Some wood loss has occurred behind the bolster due to burn out.

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.
