Arms, Armor and Militaria Online

Very good as refinished. Bore about fine, mostly bright with strong rifling and some scattered patches of oxidation, discoloration and some light pitting. Barrel and magazine tube with most of the applied blue, showing some thinning and scattered surface oxidation. Barrel mark remains clear and legible. Brass with an attractive butterscotch appearance. Action is mechanically functional. Some screws in action and butt plate replaced. Wood lightly sanded and refinished with good wood to metal fit. Overall a fairly well done restoration that left the gun relatively crisp.

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.
