Arms, Armor & Militaria

Very Good to Near Fine. Bore about fine, moderately oxidized with crisp rifling. Metal with a nice amount of the faded and thinning arsenal brown finish intact, mixing with a lightly oxidized brown patina. Breech block retains some of the color from the refinishing that took place during the conversion to percussion. Markings partially obscured on block due to the machining during the conversion. Mechanically functional action. Wood mostly fine and crisp with some nice feathery texture but with the typical "Hall Crack" behind breechblock at end of wrist. Otherwise wood with some scattered bumps, dings and mars.

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.
