About good. Smooth bore fair, moderately oxidized and pitted. Metal moderately oxidized with a salt and pepper patina, showing some scattered pitting, mostly around the breech and bolster area. Touchhole over large and eroded, poorly centered in the pan. Flint lock reconverted, essentially functional, but the frizzen spring screw is stripped so the frizzen spring can fall off the lock when the action is operated. A replacement screw would fix this. Stock with moderate wear, a crack through the wrist and some wood loss along the forend.

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.
