Arms, Armor and Militaria

Good. Bores dark, oxidized and pitted. Metal heavily oxidized with a rich brown patina with scattered surface roughness and pitting. Markings remain mostly legible. Locks functional, but due to a break in the wrist the left hammer will not fall when the trigger is pulled unless the crack is closed, allowing the left trigger to bear on the left lock's sear. Stock with a break at the wrist that is fairly crisp and clean and could likely be repaired by a competent restoration gunsmith. Otherwise wood with 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.
