Good. Bore good, moderately oxidized with some pitting and strong rifling. Metal moderately oxidized with freckled discoloration and scattered light pitting. Metal with traces of old varnish or dried, discolored oil, leaving a yellowish tone. Lock mechanically functional, but needs some adjustment as it is somewhat spongey and sloppy. Wood about good, with wear, lightly sanded with some chipped loss around the lock mortise and some cracking on the obverse forward of the lock. Otherwise wood with scattered bumps, dings and mars. Patchbox catch is weak and does not always engage without assistance.

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.
