Very good. Bore mostly bright with some dust and minor surface rust near the muzzle and strong rifling. Metal with most of the finish intact. Markings clear in metal. Mechanically functional lock. Lock somewhat ill fitting with some wood loss at the lower rear. A small crack is present on the left of the tang with two brass brads in place to stabilize it. Otherwise, wood with scattered bumps, dings and mars and fairly noticeable ding on the obverse forearm between the lower and middle bands.

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.
