Good. Bores are very dark with oxidation and patina throughout. Metal finishes show brown patina on the edges with some light pitting on the cock jaws and around touch hole. Stocks exhibit cracking to the forend surrounding the ramrod cutouts, along with dents and scattered mars overall. Both pistols show signs of polishing and refinishing of both the wood and metal. One pistol shows a large split on the right wrist behind the lockplate that has been polished down. Same pistol has a detached cock and is missing the hammer screw, and shows a shattered forward edge to the tumbler nut. Action of complete pistol is functional.
