Condition Report

Good to very good. Bore is frosty and shows shallow pit marks to rifling, possibly cleaned at some point. Finish has mostly turned to a mottled plum-grey-brown color overall due to pitting, patina, and finish loss. Buttplate shows clusters of oxidation. Wood stock possibly refurbished at some point, with repair made to toe, and proud fittings. Dust cover is somewhat loose and able to be lifted when closed. Rear sight mounts appears loose and can shift slightly toward left of barrel. Forend cap is missing screw. Action is functional.
