Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good. Both bores bright with rifling displaying some wear. Browned finish is strong with barrels showing some light edgewear. Some nicks to the edges of the barrel rib and one flat spot to the left barrel. Gold inlay remains complete and readily visible. A gray patina is forming over the frame and lockplates with some traces of varnish to the top of the buttplate. Horn components display some light nicks at the edges with a gap visible through the embellishment behind the finger rest. Forend latch appears to have had a knob shear off leaving sharp edges. Crack forming near latch. Wood retains a tight fit to the metal. Metal components fit proud of the wood in some spots, suggesting wood has been sanded. Action locks up tightly with barrels on face and lever resting slightly left of centerline.
