Arms, Armor & Militaria Online

Fair as modified and refinished. Bore fair, moderately oxidized and frosted with decent rifling and some even pinpricking. Metal with some of an applied blue finish, hammer with faux heat induced case colors. Markings in metal remain mostly legible. Weak traces of cartouches in wood. Mechanism needs mechanical attention as the breech block does not lock positively in place when closed due to a lack of tension on the catch. Otherwise, the mechanism appears to function correctly. Wood sanded and refinished with moderate wear and 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.
