Arms, Armor and Militaria Online

Good. Bores dark and dirty, oxidized and pitted with decent rifling. Metal with some blue in protected areas, showing moderate oxidation and freckled surface roughness. Markings remain legible. Action is functional, with firing pin rotating as it should. Action lock up is not the tightest, with the action release easily sliding to open when the pistol is pointed downwards. The upper of the two interior spring in the action appears broken, typical of these pistols, which are often mishandled. Grips with moderate wear, showing good age but are somewhat ill-fitting old replacements.

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.
