Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very good. Bore heavily oxidized and rusted, dark and dirty. Metal with a heavily oxidized patina, primarily a mottled brown color with scattered surface roughness and some scattered light pitting, more moderate in the last few inches near the muzzle. Lock with brownish mottling. Most markings remain legible. Lock functional but does not hold reliably at full cock, likely due to a worn tumbler or sear. Hammer screw replaced. Hammer with a strange cold blue type coloration. Ramrod a reproduction. Stock fairly crisp with good edges, showing scattered bumps, dings and mars and some added finish. A nice looking untouched attic gun.

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.
