Arms, Armor and Militaria

Good. Bore is dark and oxidized with strong rifling and some pitting. Metal with some strong traces of blue, the balance a lightly oxidized brownish-gray patina. Frame with a mottled grayish appearance, brass with traces of tarnished silver. Action needs mechanical attention as it does not operate reliably at all times, possibly due to a weak hand spring or worn hand. Grips good with a moderate number of scattered bumps, dings and mars and chipped loss at the lower leading and trailing edges.

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.
