Good. Smooth bore moderately oxidized and dark with some light pitting. Barrel with traces of faded and worn brown mixed with oxidation and a brownish patina, lock faded to a smoky blue gray color. Damascus patterning remains clear on the barrel, engraving on lock and furniture remains crisp. Mechanically functional lock, including the bolted safety. Wood with moderate wear, some smoothing of the checkering on the grip, scattered bumps, dings and mars and a small chip out of the upper edge of the forend on the obverse above the wedge. Ramrod is a modern replacement.

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.
