Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good. Bores are both moderately oxidized but retain fine, crisp microgroove rifling. Metal of the barrels is moderately oxidized with some traces of blue toning to plum on the exposed surfaces, with more substantial traces of blue underneath. The barrels retain some original gilt as well. Metal with some scattered surface oxidation, minor surface roughness and some very lightly scattered pitting. Markings remain visible, if not completely legible. Both locks are mechanically functional. One pistol has an old replaced barrel wedge of brass, rather than iron. Both stocks are very good, with some scattered bumps, dings and mars from handling and use.

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.
