Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good. Bores are Bright with strong rifling throughout. Case colors remain strong on internal surfaces and show some wear to the sideplates, hammers, and floorplate. Triggerguard has transitioned to gray patina with some traces of gray. Finish to buttplate and trapdoor possibly polished at some point with slight loss of detail to some engraving. Barrels show a gray color overall with some oxidation around the sling loop. Stock appears to have been sanded and shows scattered flaking to the finish, some light dents overall, and a splice along the complete length of the tang. Forend checkering displays some weakening at the upper edges. Some chips to the edges of the horn lever. Action is functional and locks up tightly.

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.
