Arms, Armor & Militaria

Very Good. Bore partly bright with good rifling and some scattered oxidation. Barrel with weak traces of thinning and fading blue mixed with a moderately oxidized brownish patina. Receiver with a mottled brownish gray patina that suggests the original case coloring. Markings remain fairly clear in metal, weaker in wood. Mechanically functional action, however the pellet primer system does not appear to operate, although it seems to be complete. Stock with moderate wear, showing some old added finish, as well as numerous 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.
