Good as Refinished. Bore is Dark with pitting and patina throughout and weak rifling. Metal shows scattered nicks on the edges of the barrel and receiver that have been filled in with reblue. Refinish exhibits edgewear and thinning overall with some brown streaks to the barrel, flecking on the frame, and a mottled brown patina forming on the forward magazine tube. Stock has been sanded and shows rounded edges on the butt with some light dents, and a dowel rod shim to left wrist. Forend retains crisp edges and may be replaced.

WARNING: Hammer still releases from the half cock notch when the trigger is pulled, rendering it nonfunctional as a safety.

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.
