Arms, Armor and Militaria

Very Good, as refinished. Bores fine and bright. Barrels with much of an old dull applied blued finish intact, which is thinning and fading with high edge and contact wear. Receiver with muted traces of case colors in protected areas, more visible on the water table and interior of the action. Case color appears to be original and unrestored. Metal with relatively clear engraving, although there is some thinning and wear to the engraving and some weakness to the markings due to the refinishing. Mechanically functional action with crisp and tight lock up. Wood with light to moderate wear and some smoothing to the checkering. Wood shows some lightly scattered handling marks and minute chipping along the edges of the butt.

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.
