Property Of Dr. K. William Harter, Alexandria, VA

This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Very good plus. Bores are all bright, with some light residue to all that is easily cleanable. Finishes are all strong, possibly refurbished by a very good gunsmith as some of the manufacturer marks and engravings appear very slightly weakened. Frame finish shows some scattered light scratches, possibly case hardened at some point. Wood stock has some scattered light scratches and mars.
